After a trip to merry ol’ England that saw Mike Perry get his hand raised over Michael “Venom” Page (a trip that did not feature Paige VanZant), Bare-Knuckle FC was back stateside on Saturday night for BKFC 28.

The main event of the card, set for the Rio Rancho Events Center in New Mexico, featured a 125lb title fight between champ Christine Ferea and Taylor Starling. The match-up had more than just a little animosity heading into it, at least based on the shoving match that broke out during weigh-ins.

Then again, that’s far from the biggest scandal to come out of the BKFC 28 weigh-ins. That’s because another fighter — that would be Antonio Soto III — told his opponent that “After I knock you out, I’m gonna f*ck your dog.” Ladies and gentleman, inter-species erotica has arrived at BKFC, apparently.

Former UFC title challenger John Dodson also features on the card, taking on a familiar name in Ryan Benoit.

Full results from the event, which will hopefully be a little less gross than its weigh-in, can be found below.
