Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) returned to South Florida on Friday night and featured two championship fights in the co-main and main event of the evening. The beef between Hector Lombard and Lorenzo Hunt was settled after five action-packed rounds that saw a new cruiserweight champion crowned. Luis Palomino returned after hospitalization from a serious battle with COVID-19 and successfully defended his lightweight championship against Dat Nguyen.
Lombard and Hunt were involved in a post-fight brawl at BKFC 18 this past June. The former Bellator champion had just won the cruiserweight championship via first-round technical knockout over Joe Riggs when the BKFC star entered the ring and stood in front of Lombard.
