Jason Knight suffers rib injury, out of BKFC 7 fight against Leonard Garcia

Leonard Garcia is in need of a new dance partner for Bare Knuckle Fight Federation’s upcoming card in August.

His original opponent, and fellow UFC veteran, Jason Knight, broke the news on Twitter after revealing a rib injury had forced him to pull out of the main event fight at BKFC 7.

Knight (20-6, MMA, 0-1 bare knuckle boxing), was looking to pick up his first win in BKFC after coming up short to Artem Lobov in their back-and-forth war at BKFC 5 in April.
