Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) returned to Thailand for its first-ever event at CentralWorld Live at 8floor in Bangkok on Saturday.
Muay Thai legend Buakaw Banchamek ventured into bare-knuckle boxing and needed less than two minutes to finish Erkan Varol with brutal body shots in the headliner. Varol was aggressive, pressing forward and finding a home for some right hands. Buakaw was patient, settling in before throwing out some jabs. With his opponent up against the ropes, Buakaw caught Varol with a shot to the body that clearly hurt him. Buakaw saw the reaction and moved in with more shots to the body before Varol fell to the canvas, clutching his side.
