BKFC will kick off its 2025 schedule in stellar fashion with its fifth annual KnuckleMania event.
BKFC: KnuckleMania 5 takes place Saturday in Philadelphia inside Wells Fargo Center, and the promotion claims it will set a gate and attendance record for combat sports in the city, even above UFC and legendary boxing headliners.
The card features a main event between former UFC and Bellator champion Eddie Alvarez and Jeremy Stephens, BKFC heavyweight champ Mick Terill defending against Ben Rothwell, an intriguing women’s bout of Taylor Starling vs. Bec Rawlings, plus much more.
After making weight Friday morning, the prominent fighters and remainder of the card attended ceremonial weigh-ins where they squared off one final time before throwing down in the ring.
Former two-division UFC champion and part owner of BKFC Conor McGregor was on hand to experience Friday’s faceoffs, as well.
Check out the video above to see the final faceoffs ahead of BKFC: KnuckleMania 5.
