Chad Mendes is set for his bare-knuckle boxing debut under the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) banner.
BKFC President Dave Feldman recently told Damon Martin of MMA Fighting Mendes would be featured at BKFC KnuckleMania II, the upcoming event scheduled to take place on Feb. 19 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla. The former UFC featherweight turned BKFC lightweight has since confirmed the news on social media. An opponent for Mendes has not been revealed, but John Morgan of MMA Junkie reported that it is expected to be Joshuah Alvarez.
