Conor McGregor and BKFC are in town to hype up BKFC KnuckleMania 5, headlined by former MMA stars Eddie Alvarez and Jeremy Stephens.
The BKFC KnuckleMania 5 press conference is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. ET on Thursday at Parx Casino in Bensalem, Penn., with the fight card taking place Saturday at Wells Fargo Arena in Alvarez’s hometown of Philadelphia.
This marks BKFC’s debut in the “City of Brotherly Love.”
Expected to be on hand for the presser are BKFC president David Feldman, part-owner McGregor, headliners Alvarez and Stephens, as well as main card fighters Mick Terrill, Ben Rothwell, Taylor Starling and Bec Rawlings.
Terrill defends his BKFC heavyweight title coming off of back-to-back championship fight wins over Lorenzo Hunt and Arnold Adams. He faces Rothwell, a veteran of 53 MMA fights, who is 3-0 in the BKFC ring.
Starling and Rawlings are both in need of a win, with Starling having lost three of her past four bare-knuckle bouts, and Rawlings looking to snap a three-fight BKFC losing streak.
BKFC KnuckleMania 5 is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. on Saturday, exclusively on DAZN.
