BKFC KnuckleMania VI presser: “This is the baddest, purest combat sport on the face of Planet Earth.”

The KnuckleMania VI kickoff press conference took part at the old ECW Arena, aka the 2300 Arena, ahead of the fistic fireworks set for Saturday, February 7th, 2026 in Philadelphia, PA.

In the headliner of KnuckleMania VI which is set to emanate from the Xfinity Mobile Arena, Ben Rothwell defends his BKFC heavyweight championship against a man who has bested him twice under MMA rules, former UFC heavyweight champ Andrei ‘The Pitbull’ Arlovski. In the co-main event of the promotion’s annual tentpole event, multiple time and multi-division BKFC champion Lorenzo Hunt looks to make up for lost time after returning from a lengthy suspension tied to BKFC KnuckleMania IV.
