Emery gained notoriety after flashing the crowd in Bangkok in her BKFC debut in September 2022. Three months later, she returned to the BKFC ring and dropped a decision to Chisakan Ariphipat. The 37-year-old hadn’t competed since then, but made up for lost time with another quick finish.
Sigala, a past BKFC title challenger, has now dropped three straight. In her previous outing, the bare-knuckle veteran suffered a nasty ankle injury at BKFC KnuckleMania 3 in a February 2023 loss to Jayme Hinshaw.
