A Brave New World

Battlefield Fighting Championship held its first event on March 18, 2017 at the Seoul Olympic Hall in South Korea. “The Great Beginning” saw former One Championship middleweight titleholder Igor Svirid emerge victorious in the main event and featured a co-headliner that paired Jessica-Rose Clark with Sarah Kaufman. While some considered the show a solid start for the Korean promotion, failure to pay fighters on time and the backlash that ensued resulted in a less-than-stellar reputation, as the BFC became nothing more than an afterthought in the minds of fans and pundits.
