r/BareKnuckleFC

BKFC makes it back-to-back weeks of Friday night action as we return to Clearwater, FL for BKFC Fight Night Clearwater 3 at the OCC Roadhouse. The free pre-liminary fights are set to begin at 8:00 p.m. EST and will be streaming for free on the BKFC YouTube channel. Come join the live chat at the BKFC Reddit Discord channel.

In the main event we have a entertaining bout in the Featherweight division as Quentin Gaskins (2-1, 2 KOs) is looking to make it back-to-back KO victories as he takes on a challenging opponent in Matt Guymon (2-2, 2 KOs). Our co-main event is a true grudge match in the Bantamweight division as the home town favorite #2 Bantamweight Ryan Reber (7-2, 3 KOs) takes on Joshua Oxendine (4-3, 3 KOs) as he looks to play upset in his second BKFC bout. Rounding out the top of the card is our feature fight in the Women's Flyweight division as #4 Women's Strawweight Crystal Van Wyk (2-2) hopes to make her case for a future title shot as she takes on Kat Paprocki (1-1, 1 KO), who won't make this an easy battle.

Looking beyond there are some other interesting fights of note. Brandon Allen (5-2, 4 KOs) make his return after a TKO loss in his last outing against Lukas Jones (2-2, 2 KOs) in a fight that Allen needs to win if he wants a shot a Kai next, but only encourages Jones' underdog status in this fight. Bolo Carthon (1-1, 1 KO) makes his return to the squared circle having won a regional bare knuckle Heavyweight title in his last fight against the debuting Terry Williams, one of the coaches for Shift MMA and whom we could see back in Allen's corner later in the night. Right before the big boys we go to the other end of the weight classes as Chachi Versace (0-1-1), coming off a grueling draw in his last outing, takes on the debuting Gabriel Hernandez in a bout in the Flyweight division.

Overall this is an appropriate card for the Fight Night titling; A late replacement main event, some intriguing debuts, and enough of a wild card factor that this card could either be awesome or zzzzzzzzz. Either way, Friday night fights are something worth staying up for.
