BKFC has already reached out to Alistair Overeem, Junior dos Santos following UFC cuts

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship has already reached out to both Alistair Overeem and Junior dos Santos following their release from the UFC earlier this week.

BKFC president David Feldman is ‘interested’ in signing both fighters and is currently waiting on a response from the former UFC heavyweights and their respective teams.

“Yes, we are interested in both Junior dos Santos and Alistair Overeem. We have already made contact with them and their teams. Let’s see what happens,” Feldman told BJPenn.com via text message on Friday.

The bare knuckle fight promotion has already signed a plethora of ex-UFC fighters such as Chris Leben, Artem Lobov, Chris Lytle and, most recently, Paige VanZant.
