Welcome to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), John Dodson.
BKFC announced on Friday that the former UFC fighter signed with and joined the roster of the bare-knuckle boxing promotion. Details of his signing were not provided.
Dodson competed as a bantamweight on The Ultimate Fighter: Team Bisping vs. Team Miller more than a decade ago. The ‘Magician’ fought his way to the finale, where he finished T.J. Dillashaw via first-round knockout to earn a six-figure contract with the UFC. He returned to flyweight for his next appearances, defeating Tim Elliott and Jussier Formiga en route to his first championship opportunity against then-flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson at UFC on FOX 6.
