Bare Knuckle FC, now with Conor McGregor as a part-owner of the promotion, hosted BKFC Spain on Saturday, October 12, 2024.
Speaking of McGregor, his involvement might explain why Oscar Willis of The MacLife was on the card, taking on another MMA Media member and part-time fighter, Ben “The Bane” Davis. For those complaining that MMA Media is “soft,” consider this exhibit A (though a number of other journalists and media members have competed over the years).
In the main event, however, it was Tony Soto, undefeated in bare-knuckle boxing (while 1-1 in MMA and 2-0 in traditional boxing) taking on Franco Tenaglia, looking to build off of wins in both MMA and BKFC earlier this year.
Where to Watch Tenaglia vs. Soto
The BKFC Spain prelims will be available on Youtube, while the main card airs live on DAZN kicking off at 2PM ET. Full results from the event, held at the Marbella Arena, can be found below.
