Former UFC welterweight title challenger Thiago Alves finally has an opponent for his Bare Knukcle Fighting Championship debut, and it is none other than the ‘New York Badass’ himself Phil Baroni. The pair is now scheduled to meet on September 19, at BKFC 13.
On his Twitter, MMA commentator Brad Wharton shared a screenshot of the company’s schedule, which shows two more upcoming cards for the next months and BKFC 13’s co-main event, which will feature two other Octagno known faces: Hector Lombard and Kendall Grove.
Alves (23-15) left the UFC with a 15-12 record, on a two-fight losing skid with losses to Tim Means and Laureano Staropoli.
