Dave Feldman “This is a great time for our company. There’s a lot happening between our signing of fighters like Paige VanZant to our announcing of the September 11 event at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, FL to our new broadcast deal with DAZN.” “Signing Paige VanZant truly is a huge moment for our company, she’s a terrific fighter with a huge fan base that we look forward to working with. This signing is a true partnership and I want to thank Paige along with her manager Malki Kawa and First Round Management. “Paige is truly challenging herself by signing with BKFC. We’re the fastest growing sport in the world and I can’t wait to see what the future brings.” “I’d also like to thank Sean Wheelock who was instrumental in making this happen. Once Paige became a free agent we started working with Malki on the negotiations.” “The September 11 event features two tremendous showdowns, Thiago Alves vs. Phil Baroni and Hector Lombard vs. Kendall Grove. We’re also partnering with the Travis Manion Foundation to honor the fallen heroes from ‘9/11’ and we’ll have a very special tribute to them at the event.” Paige VanZant “I’m really excited to join BKFC and become an official part of their family. We had been in talks since I became a free agent and this is a win-win situation for both of us. I’ll be part of the family both in and out of the squared circle.” “Some other big players talked to me after I became a free agent but I needed a new challenge and BKFC is the best opportunity. I love to fight and that’s what I want to do, I’ve done this since I was 15.” “Striking is truly my passion and BKFC will allow me to truly work on my strengths including Muay Thai.” “I look forward to commentating as well and hopefully becoming the face of the organization and continue growing both of our brands together.” Thiago Alves “I’m very excited now to be part of this badass organization, I’m ready to let my hands go and not have to worry about the wrestling part of fighting. I’m going to knock Phil Baroni out, there’s just a little adjustment to the two-minute rounds but I’ll be ready to go.” Hector Lombard “I felt great in my first BKFC fight and I’ll be even better against Kendall Grove. He’s a little taller than I am but I’m confident I can land my punches.” “Catch All Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship Action at BKTVApp.com” Social Media Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship Instagram: @BareKnuckleFC Twitter: @BareKnuckleFC Facebook: @BareKnuckleFC YouTube: @BareKnuckleFightingChampionship Website: www.BareKnuckle.tv
