Bare Knuckle FC had Saturday night to themselves thanks to an early offering from the UFC in Abu Dhabi, which gave them a change to showcase women’s champ Britain Hart atop BKFC 63.
The card found Hart looking make a third defense of her strawweight crown against a fellow fan favorite in Taylor Starling. The challenger entered the bout off a win over Jenny Clausius, improving her overall record in bareknuckle boxing to 4-2.
Also slated for Saturday’s BKFC 63 card in Sturgis was Bellator veteran Josh Burns, looking to halt a five-fight skid in a rematch with Sam Shewmaker. As it happens, Shewmaker represents Burns’ most recent win, with the pair first meeting in 2021. Shawmaker had lost both his fights since that date as well, meaning someone was snapping their skid on Saturday.
