Two UFC veterans picked up wins at Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship 12, as Thiago Alves won a close decision against Julian Lane and Hector Lombard knocked out Kendall Grove.
Alves fought 27 times in the UFC during his 14-years in the promotion. The Brazilian said before the fight with Lane, he is retired from MMA and will now pursue a career in BKFC. Lane is mostly known for his time on The Ultimate Fighter, where he appeared on season 16 and 25. The 33-year-old has fought in bare-knuckle since 2018.
Lane filled in for Phil Baroni on short-notice to face Alves.
