Austin Trout and Luis Palomino will run it back in the world of bare knuckle boxing in the headliner of BKFC 85 with the two co-main event fighters weighing in on that big bout. Trout and Palomino first threw down at BKFC 57 in February 2024 with the former defeating the latter on points.
‘No Doubt’ Trout captured the welterweight strap from Palomino with their rematch being part of the semi finals of a tournament designed to crown a new BKFC champ at lightweight since the 155 pound belt is presently vacant.
Speaking of vacant belts, the aforementioned co-main event fight at BKFC 85 is for the vacant bantamweight belt as former BKFC title challenger Ryan Reber clashes with the undefeated Justin Ibarrola.
