BKFC has announced three fights for its KnuckleMania 6 card on February 7, 2026.
The event is set to take place at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia and will feature three UFC veterans, including Ben Rothwell, Andrei Arlovski and Yoel Romero.
Rothwell will defend his BKFC heavyweight title in the main event against former UFC champion Arlovski.
Arlovski has already defeated his fellow ex-UFC heavyweight twice in MMA, but now has the chance to compete for bare-knuckle boxing gold at the promotion part-owned by Conor McGregor.
Rothwell fought 17 times in the UFC between 2009 and 2021, the 44-year-old winning the BKFC heavyweight title in January by scoring a swift knockout win over Briton Mick Terrill.
