Another combat sport could soon be headed to the “Fight Capital of the World.”
On Tuesday, BKFC representatives presented in front of the Nevada Athletic Commission about the possibility of sanctioning bareknuckle boxing in the state. On hand to make their case in front of commission members were BKFC president David Feldman and commentator Sean Wheelock. BKFC chief medical officer Dr. Don Muzzi joined the meeting via teleconference.
“Bareknuckle, you would think, your perception if you never watched it before, you would think it’s different than what it really is,” Feldman said when informed NAC chair Dallas Haun had never watched a bareknuckle boxing match. “… It’s growing faster than any other combat sport in the world ever. It’s growing very, very fast. I’ll tell you why: because it’s very relatable to everybody.
