This event, known as BKFC-63, promises to be a highlight of the 84th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, a renowned gathering that combines the thrill of motorcycling with top-tier entertainment. The main event features a highly anticipated Women's Strawweight World Title fight between defending champion Britain Hart and challenger Taylor "Killa Bee" Starling; both fighters bring a wealth of experience and fierce rivalry to the ring, making this a must-see match.

Partnership with Grunt Style
This event is made even more special with the partnership between BKFC and Grunt Style, a patriotic apparel brand. Grunt Style is known for its support of veterans and first responders, aligning perfectly with the ethos of the Sturgis Buffalo Chip and the broader Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Tim Jensen, co-owner of Grunt Style, has expressed his excitement about this collaboration, highlighting the synergy between the brands and the unique experience this partnership will bring to fans. The creative minds behind the Grunt Style brand put the pieces in place to make this historic event happen.
BKFC and Its Unique Appeal
BKFC stands out in the combat sports world for its adherence to the true essence of bare-knuckle fighting. Unlike other promotions that allow extensive hand wrapping, and padding, BKFC fighters compete with minimal hand protection, staying true to the sport's legendary roots. This approach not only preserves the sport's authenticity but also ensures thrilling, fast-paced bouts that keep fans on the edge of their seats. The organization’s innovative 16-foot squared circle ring design further enhances the spectator experience by encouraging constant action and engagement.
