The promotion recently announced the booking. BKFC 59 will take
place at Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on March 29.
More bouts will be announced in the coming weeks.
A two-time
UFC flyweight title challenger, Dodson has found success in the
bare knuckle realm, posting a 3-0 mark under the BKFC banner since
his debut with the organization in August 2022. He’s finished all
three of his BKFC opponents inside of a round, including a
title-winning victory against J.R. Ridge at BKFC 48 last year. The
39-year-old Albuquerque resident has gone 3-2 in MMA since parting
ways with the UFC in 2020. Most recently, “The Magician” dropped a
unanimous decision to Hiromasa
Ougikubo at Rizin 45 on New Year’s Eve.
Aguero, who hails from the Dominican Republic, defeated Chance
Wilson via Round 3 stoppage in his BKFC debut this past November.
The 30-year-old notably owns a 15-2 professional boxing mark, with
his last bout coming in 2022.
