Lakeland, FL (February 3, 2021) Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship<\/strong>, The World\u2019s Fastest Growing Sport<\/em>, held the Final Press Conference for the massive \u2018KnuckleMania\u2019<\/strong> Pay-Per-View event today at Bert\u2019s Barracuda Harley-Davidson in Clearwater, FL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joining BKFC President David Feldman were Paige Van Zant, Britain Hart, Johnny Bedford, Dat Nguyen, Chris Leben and Quentin Henry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are quotes from the participants;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David Feldman<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSeems like we\u2019re coming full circle with this event, welcoming in Paige VanZant for her BKFC debut while saying goodbye to Chris Leben as he prepares for his final BKFC event as a competitor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe fans in this area really love BKFC and this card from top-to-bottom is the best card we\u2019ve ever put together. Along with the three featured bouts we also have a wealth of great newcomers on the card.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBKFC.com has all the information on tickets and ordering the Pay-Per-View. I\u2019d also like to thank our host Bert King from Bert\u2019s Barracuda Harley-Davidson for hosting us today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paige VanZant<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was really fortunate to have some amazing offers when I left UFC. I chose my passion which is BKFC and with my striking skills this is the one sport where I see myself being the most successful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Britain Hart<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m here to rise up to this and take advantage of this opportunity. I was never handed anything. Getting into the ring in BKFC is not something everyone can do. Regardless of who is in front of me, it\u2019s about what I\u2019m going to do to win and has nothing to do with them. Anyone who wants to sit there and calls me a mediocre boxer has another thing coming to them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnny Bedford<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI said the first day I met David Feldman at the first BKFC event I would be the face of the company and that\u2019s what I\u2019ve become. I\u2019ve continued to defeat everyone they\u2019ve put in front of me and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

on Friday night it will be more of the same.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dat Nguyen<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBare Knuckle Fighting Championship is a new sport. I\u2019ve always been a fighter, I was successful as a boxer and I\u2019ll be successful on Friday night in BKFC.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris Leben<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s bittersweet, BKFC has become part of my life. You\u2019ll still see me around but not fighting after Friday night. They say you\u2019re only as good as your last fight and this is the one to cap my career.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quentin Henry<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been fighting since I was four years old, I\u2019ve always looked like this. I had a couple injuries in the past but I\u2019m glad the opportunity came up.  I would have regretted not taking the first fight in BKFC on three weeks\u2019 notice. Now I\u2019m in good shape and a lot smarter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
