Two men that know of the various combat opportunities that await once they are free from Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) are none other than Darren Till and Yoel Romero. The two have taken advantage of the freedom to compete whenever and where they choose, whether or not it’s been more lucrative than what UFC paid them, however, is unknown. Till left UFC in 2022 on a three-fight losing streak, never living up to the hope many had for him. From there, he went around and picked up fights anywhere he could, competing under the Misfits Boxing banner, as well as BKFC. He has gone 5-0 since leaving UFC, and even won the Misfits Bridgerweight strap. Many would have hoped that his nice run would earn hi, an invite back to the Octagon, but it never came. Nevertheless, he isn’t short on opportunities away from the eight-sided cage, and his next challenge is one of his biggest ones to date.
Romero, meanwhile, parted ways with UFC back in 2020 after three straight losses, and has competed all over the place. He fought under Bellator, PFL and Gamebred Knuckle MMA, BKFC and Dirty Boxing, racking up a collective record of of 7-2. He also never found his way back to UFC, and at this stage of his career it is unlikely he ever will. Still, the 49 year-old freak of nature is still chugging along and wants to show that despite creeping up in age he still has plenty left in the tank. And he will need a full tank to go toe-to-toe against Till because “The Gorilla” is as aggressive and fast-paces as they come.
How The Undercard Looks:
Gaz Corran vs. Mac Bygraves
Corran is 2-0 in BKFC and has won both fights by first-round knockout, while Bygraves enters undefeated at 3-0. Bygraves’ record includes a decision victory over George Thorpe. Corran is called “The Crusher” for good reason as his two BKFC appearances have ended quickly, including first-round stoppages against Dawid Chylinski and Danny Moir. This fight will be for the BKFC UK Middleweight title.
Joe Lister vs. Harry Bray
Lister enters at 2-1, while Bray is 1-0. BKFC lists Lister around 6’0″ with a 71-inch reach and Bray around 5’11” with a 70-inch reach. In his BKFC debut, Lister threw 54 punches to knockout his foe in the opening round. BKFC describes him as capable of balancing aggression with technical boxing. Lister appears super comfortable fighting at a high pace and is physically conditioned to maintain that kind of output. Whether or not Bray can keep up, remains to be seen.
Mikey Henderson vs. Matthew Wiwczaryk
Henderson is 3-0 in BKFC and has a huge 77-inch reach. Wiwczaryk is listed at 3-1-1 with a 70-inch reach. And that reach advantage will come in handy come fight night for Genderson . Henderson has beaten Liam Hutchinson, Benjamin Lowe and Liam Dooley, with his debut going five rounds before he won a decision. While he may want to always use his range to keep his foe at bay he will eventually have to get in and make it personal.
Karl Thompson vs. Andy Thornton
This is a classic experienced champion vs. dangerous undefeated challenger matchup. Thompson is 4-1 in BKFC and holds the Cruiserweight championship. Thornton is undefeated at 2-0. Thompson is an unusual bare-knuckle fighter because he has frequently been outstruck statistically but still finds ways to land fight-ending shots. And when you are fighting bare knuckle, once clean shot is all it takes.
Luke Vaughan vs. Bartlomiej Krol
This is one of the clearest experience mismatches on the card. That’s because Vaughan is making his BKFC debut, while Krol is 5-2 and has fought repeatedly for the promotion. Vaughan will also have a size and reach advantage so all signs point to him getting the win, especially if he can turn this into a long-range boxing match. Krol, however, has experience on his side, and that will be a big factor.
Ste Wallwork vs. Leigh Cohoon
This is potentially one of the most violent fights on the card. Wallwork is making his BKFC debut but arrives with a 2-0 bare-knuckle record, both wins coming by knockout. That’s why he shouldn’t be treated like a conventional promotional debutant. Cohoon brings significantly more BKFC experience. He is very aggressive, powerful and relentless, with backgrounds in both MMA and bare-knuckle boxing. He’s coming off a third-round TKO of George Thorpe.
Tyrone Hamer vs. Liam Dooley
Hamer is making his combat-sports debut with BKFC and is listed at approximately 6’1″ with a 72-inch reach. Dooley is 1-1 in BKFC and stands around 5’10” with a 69-inch reach The physical dimensions are intriguing. He’s taller and has a three-inch reach advantage but that does not always equate to wins. Dooley has already experienced BKFC competition. Experience is important, even more-so in the bareknuckle because not only do you understand the rules, but understand the pain that comes with it.
Luke Bassnett vs. Darren Willans
Both fighters are making thier BKFC debuts so there isn’t a ton of tape on them, and it makes this one of the hardest fights on the card to project from historical data. In the end, it will come down to who has the better gameplan, the better technique and the sheer raw power to get the job done. While they may not be too well-known in this space yet, this is their chance to make a name for themselves.
Who Needs A Win Badly:
Benjamin Lowe vs. Dan McGraff
Lowe is 0-2 in BKFC, while McGraffin is 4-3 with the promotion. That’s why Lowe needs a win in the worst way to avoid a third straight defeat. Lowe usually has the height and reach advantage, but he hasn’t been able to parlaythat into wins. This is an important fight for him because he’s fighting someone with substantially more bareknuckle experience. McGraffin has competed in bare-knuckle outside BKFC and has a notable first-round stoppage over Daniel Lerwell. He’s experienced enough to understand how to fight when the opponent has the physical advantages, which in this case Lowe has.
Interest Level: 5/10
In the co-main event, David Mundell and Jack Cullen with throw down in a Middleweight title fight. Mundell is the reigning BKFC Middleweight champion and comes in with a 10-2 BKFC record. He’s a former MMA fighter who has turned into one of BKFC’s most accomplished punchers. Cullen brings a substantial professional boxing background, having earned a 22-6-1 record with 10 knockouts before moving into bare-knuckle. There will be plenty of combat action to go around that should keep you busy all day, which not only includes BKFC, but UFC Vegas 121 and a Misfits Boxing event (more on that here and here).
