BKFC 56 takes place Saturday at Maverik Arena in West Valley City, Utah with a main event that is likely to attract a high number of eyeballs because of the violence potential.
Fan-favorites [autotag]Mike Perry[/autotag] and [autotag]Eddie Alvarez[/autotag] will throw down (without gloves) to determine who is “The King of Violence.” Friday, the two combatants got one final look at one another at ceremonial weigh-ins ahead of Saturday’s card.
There was plenty of mouthing off between the two intense violence creators, but things did not get physical. A level of respect shined through the verbal jabs, as both fighters radiated energy and excitement.
While both fighters have found success in bareknuckle boxing post-MMA, Perry’s longevity has established him as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the newly-sanctioned combat sport. On the flip side, Alvarez made his bareknuckle debut in April when he defeated Chad Mendes by split decision.
