‘We are not interested’ - BKFC also shuts the door on Anderson Silva signing

After Bellator, ONE Championship, and PFL rejected the idea of signing Anderson Silva, another viable option that popped up is to get the UFC legend into bare-knuckle boxing. It is, after all, an organization that signed ex-UFC fighters like Artem Lobov, Chris Leben, Paige VanZant, and Bec Rawlings.

But as it turns out, even BKFC isn’t interested in getting into “The Spider” business. Here’s what company president David Feldman told BJPenn.com:

“At this time we are not interested in Anderson Silva competing for BKFC. He’s a legend and I loved watching him fight.
