BKFC President David Feldman remains tight-lipped about the specifics of his recent discussion with UFC CEO Dana White, but it seems they have forged a new connection within the combat sports community. After BKFC 57 concluded on Friday night, Feldman addressed a photo circulating online, depicting him and White engaged in a conversation. BKFC’s recent surge includes efforts to gain sanctioning in California and Nevada.
California has already given its approval for bare-knuckle fighting, with BKFC announcing KnuckleMania IV scheduled for Los Angeles on April 27. Feldman has consistently emphasized that he doesn’t view the UFC as a direct competitor, highlighting the distinct nature of bare-knuckle fighting compared to MMA.
