Description

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship returns to Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, for a high-stakes featherweight title fight. The narrative centers on Kai "King" Stewart, the undefeated champion (8-0) making his fifth title defense. Facing him is the European champion, Spain’s Nico Gaffie (3-0), who has garnered a reputation for highlight-reel knockouts since joining the promotion. The challenge for Gaffie is to bridge the gap in bare-knuckle experience against a champion who has looked nearly untouchable in the Squared Circle.

The clash is expected to be a high-intensity affair. Stewart’s objective is to utilize his superior clinch work and relentless forward pressure to stifle the Spaniard's explosive striking. For Gaffie, the goal is to maintain range and find the opening for his signature power shots before Stewart can turn the bout into a grueling inside war. With both fighters putting their perfect records on the line, the winner will emerge as the undisputed king of the 145-pound division.

Result Description

Kai Stewart successfully defended his BKFC Featherweight World Title, defeating Nico Gaffie via unanimous decision (49-46, 48-47, 49-46). The fight was a showcase of championship composure; while Gaffie proved to be a dangerous and durable challenger, Stewart’s ability to control the pace and land the cleaner, more impactful combinations over five rounds was the deciding factor. The win moves Stewart to a flawless 9-0 record and cements his status as one of the promotion's most dominant titleholders.

The undercard delivered several dramatic moments, most notably in the light heavyweight division where Sabah Homasi was disqualified in the second round for an illegal spinning backfist that broke Leonel Carrera’s nose. In the co-main event, heavyweight powerhouse Leonardo Perdomo continued his destructive run with a first-round TKO over Orlando Coulter, finishing the fight in just 67 seconds. Other winners included Shelby Cannon, who edged out Rosalinda Rodriguez in a split-decision war, and Bryan Duran, who secured a lightning-fast 19-second knockout.
