Kane Trujillo has never been in a fight before. Up until a month ago, he’d never even been punched in the face.
So why, then, is a 21-year-old newbie getting ready to fight rapper Blueface at BKFC 19?
“Honestly, the first week after I accepted the offer and the fight, that’s exactly what I was thinking,” Trujillo told MMA Fighting with a laugh. “I was like, ‘Dude, did I really just accept this fight against a well-known crip?’ And yeah, dude, it’s still hitting me, for sure.”
The reason why Trujillo vs. Blueface is happening is the same reason brothers Jake and Logan Paul continue to dominate the combat sports news cycle.
