Bare Knuckle FC 5 just concluded from Biloxi, Mississippi. Artem Lobov and Jason Knight went to war in the main event, and both men had their moments in the fight. Lobov knocked Knight down three times, and it looked like in the fifth Knight could run away with it as Lobov was visibly exhausted. However it was Lobov who would pick up the decision victory on the night. It was then confirmed that Artem would fight ex-world champion boxer Paulie Malignaggi on June 22nd, at a location TBD.
In the co-main event, Chris Leben started off his BKFC career with a 25-second knockout over Justin Baesman.
