BKFC KnuckleMania press conference video and quotes
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, The World’s Fastest Growing Sport, held the Final Press Conference for the massive ‘KnuckleMania’ Pay-Per-View event today at Bert’s Barracuda Harley-Davidson in Clearwater, FL.
Joining BKFC President David Feldman were Paige Van Zant, Britain Hart, Johnny Bedford, Dat Nguyen, Chris Leben and Quentin Henry.
Below are quotes from the participants;
David Feldman
“Seems like we’re 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.”
“The fans in this area really love BKFC and this card from top-to-bottom is the best card we’ve ever put together. Along with the three featured bouts we also have a wealth of great newcomers on the card.”
“BKFC.com has all the information on tickets and ordering the Pay-Per-View. I’d also like to thank our host Bert King from Bert’s Barracuda Harley-Davidson for hosting us today.”
Paige VanZant
“I 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.”
Britain Hart
“I’m 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’s about what I’m 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.”
Johnny Bedford
“I said the first day I met David Feldman at the first BKFC event I would be the face of the company and that’s what I’ve become. I’ve continued to defeat everyone they’ve put in front of me and
on Friday night it will be more of the same.”
Dat Nguyen
“Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship is a new sport. I’ve always been a fighter, I was successful as a boxer and I’ll be successful on Friday night in BKFC.”
Chris Leben
“It’s bittersweet, BKFC has become part of my life. You’ll still see me around but not fighting after Friday night. They say you’re only as good as your last fight and this is the one to cap my career.”
Quentin Henry
“I’ve been fighting since I was four years old, I’ve always looked like this. I had a couple injuries in the past but I’m glad the opportunity came up. I would have regretted not taking the first fight in BKFC on three weeks’ notice. Now I’m in good shape and a lot smarter.”
