A chaotic scene unfolded ringside at BKFC: KnuckleMania IV, leading to the intervention of the BKFC president.
The tumultuous events began when an influencer forcefully knocked a phone out of a man’s hand, igniting a pretty great altercation. BKFC president David Feldman had to step in promptly to defuse the escalating situation.
Prior to this incident, Feldman found himself embroiled in a confrontation during BKFC 32 in Orlando, Florida. He courageously entered the ring to restrain a contender and restore order.
The brawl erupted following the disqualification of Jack Grady for deliberate headbutts. In response, Ryan Reber was Grady’s opponent. He provocatively gestured towards him and celebrated with two middle fingers, triggering a chaotic chain of events.
BKFC: KnuckleMania IV was hosted at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California. It featured notable matchups, including former UFC contenders Mike Perry and Thiago Alves headlining the event. Additionally, the co-main event showcased a thrilling heavyweight title clash between Mick Terrell and Lorenzo Hunt.
Making his BKFC debut against Julian Lane in 2022, Mike Perry secured victory via unanimous decision. With an impressive four-bout win streak, Perry’s recent win over former UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez at BKFC 56 solidified his dominance in the arena. Notably, his victory over former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold at BKFC 41 in April 2023 remains a career highlight.
Similarly, Thiago Alves entered the BKFC arena against Julian Lane in 2020. He ended up winning the match via split decision. He also has a knockout victory against Ulysses Diaz at BKFC 12, securing the middleweight title, Alves boasts a 2-0 record in the promotion.
However, his recent comeback has been marred by contractual disputes with BKFC post his last match.
