BKFC has officially announced KNUCKLEMANIA VI on February 7th, and the promotion is delivering a heavyweight clash that pits two UFC legends against each other at the top of the card. Ben Rothwell, the current BKFC Heavyweight World Champion, is set to defend his title against Andrei Arlovski.
BKFC Knucklemania VI
Rothwell earned his championship in January 2025 at KNUCKLEMANIA V in Philadelphia, where he spectacularly finished former champion Mick Terrill in just 36 seconds with a devastating right hand that dropped him immediately.
The American heavyweight has made the transition to bareknuckle boxing look seamless since his BKFC debut at BKFC 30, where he obliterated Bobo O’Bannon in 19 seconds with a sickening uppercut.
