BKFC president Dave Feldman teases Paige VanZant’s return, Wanderlei Silva’s debut

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships has already enjoyed a strong start to 2021 with the “KnuckleMania” event that featured the long awaited debut of former UFC star Paige VanZant. But that’s just the beginning of ambitious plans for the promotion for the rest of the year.

That’s according to BKFC president Dave Feldman, who is currently plotting out the spring and summer cards for the organization with big plans in store for several returning fighters as well as the debuts of some high-profile signings to the promotion.

Among those fighters who are expected to compete for BKFC this year is mixed martial arts legend Wanderlei Silva, who had been rumored as an addition to the company’s roster as far back as 2019.
