Doug Coltrane did awesome and he is the reason I watch bare knuckle fighting
Unbelievable experience more than what anyone can ask for
First time going to an event like this. It was incredibly fun. These gladiators really went after each other and showed some mutual respect for their opponents. Will definitely try to go again!
Amazing production, exciting fights, good crowd, good vibe, overall wonderful experience.
The fights were all awesome the highlight of my night was getting able to meet the Women's Straw-wieght Champ-Britain Heart. She's a sweetheart, beautiful and "tougher than I pine knot" LOL Come to Asheville NC you'll pack the house!!
All 12 fights were excellent and the fighters came in ready to give it their all! However, the Main Event was just that...the MAIN EVENT!!! These guys fought hard all 5 rounds and it truly was a decision for the judges! Both fighters well deserved this win. They fought their hearts out, didn't give in and certainly didn't give up! Congratulations, Tony Soto! Well deserved and still The King đ
Wow really fast pace, lots of action. Never seen anything like this.
Everything about the show was awesome. Very organized and easy to access tickets.
This was my first bare knuckle event and it was an awesome experience!!! Action packed! Cannot wait until there is another event!!!
This was the first fight I had ever seen..I bought the tickets for my husbands birthday, but I was surprised that I ended up enjoying it. I think Iâll be going to a fight again.
We had such a blast! It was so awesome and we hope they continue to bring more events like this to Hampton Roads!
So glad the event came to a venue in VA. Had to drive 4+ hours to get there, but well worth it. Went on a bus with some of the guys from our MMA academy. We had a couple of our fighters in the event. Loved the venue, the energy, the fanfare, etc. Would go back for a boxing, MMA, Muay Thai, or BKFC event.
We had a great time. We sat need the fighters walk out area. We got to see a few fighters being interviewed after their fights. Wonderful energy, great environment. We need more!!
We have a passion for BNB. We flew from Indianapolis to Fort Lauderdale for the fights. The venue at Charles F Dodge Center was nice, but the seating arrangement was misleading and high priced seats were not the best seats. The fights were great and we were welcomed after venue to soeak with the talent. Overall great event!
Our ticketed section (108) was non existent. Apparently the event seating was rearranged after our tickets were purchased. We never received any notification prior to the event. So we missed the first 2 fights while waiting for security to find a spot to seat us. Fortunately we were still able to be in our ticketed row but in a different section. Unfortunately our seats were behind a couple tall men which made it a challenge to watch the fights around their huge heads. The BKFC event was good but because of the seating debacle I am only giving 2 stars.
Took my boys to their first fight and we all had a great time. Good matches cant wait until the next one.
2nd time coming here to watch the bkfc. Its always a great time. We cannot wait til they come back.
Great sets high drinks prices great drinks no snacks lovely number ladies great action fast pace not to much waiting really love that part all in all GREAT
Parking: at this venue (Hard Rock) parking is in garages and they are packed, parking is a slow process. Since there are a few garages, it's hard to know which one to park in to be closest to the event center. We chose the Lucky garage and it was close enough. Finding the Event Center: Since we haven't been to this venue before we (and new friends we met along the way) were wandering all around looking for the event center. A young lady in a blue coat at a podium sent us completely on the wrong direction. Wandering through smokey casinos was not fun. Finally we asked another blue coat and were given decent enough direction to find it. Security was great, organized, but once in, there was no food, only 2 bars selling beer/wine and each time you leave the center, you have to go through security check again. Once we finally made it to our seats we were disappointed to learn we had missed a couple fights. BARE KNUCKLE FIGHTING: I did not expect to like this sport. It is brutal and bloody. The fighters look like average people, like probably they're your UPS driver or oil change mechanics. What fascinantes me is why they have entered into what could be an appearance altering match. The losing fighter *or both fighters* almost always leaves the ring with severe cuts around their eyes, red angry welts around their abdomens and completely swollen faces. The women fighters are gorgeous before the fights and unrecognizable after. We sat in section 101 and were near a backstage area where fighters and their people would gather before or after a fight. I witnessed a father of a young lady fighter who had lost her match, hold her face gently in his hands while speaking encouraging words to her. Or at least I imagine that's what he was saying. Maybe it was more like, ok, no more fighting for you young lady, back to being a Publix deli associate. Another draw for me is the music, between matches and between rounds they play the best thumping dancable music that gets you dancing in your seat. At the fairground venue, which is where they held the last Tampa event, the music was louder and the laser lights more prominent, which made for a more exciting event at least for me. This Hard Rock venue was small in comparison, more intimate, we could take pictures with the fighters if we wanted to. Between rounds they have gorgeous ring girls who walk around the ring in thong bikinis smiling and winking to the fans. I think half the guys at the event fell in love with at least one of them. It was a lovely change of scenery from the blood bath we had just witnessed. The owner(s) of Bare Knuckle Fighting are doing things right. Safety for the fans is a priority, there are jumbotrons showing the action and replaying the best punches in case you miss something. They invite famous boxers and wrestlers to decorate the crowd. I give the event 5 stars, but this venue only gets 4 stars. As much as I don't like the fairgrounds, it seems a better fit for these events and to hold more spectators.
Awesome seeing the debut of bare knuckle fighting in N.Y. And at a big thanks to the Seneca Nation for hosting the event
