One of many cool issues concerning the DAZN-streamed fundamental occasion between Eddie Alvarez vs. Jeremy Stephens TONIGHT (Sat., Jan 25, 2025) from inside Wells Fargo Heart in Philadelphia, Pa., is that it could have been equally as cool at any level of their careers.
Return 20 or 15 years in the past when “The Underground King” was successful Bellator gold towards Toby Imada or Pat Curran, whereas “Lil Heathen” was duking it out in Final Combating Championship’s (UFC) stacked Light-weight division towards the likes of Melvin Guillard, Marcus Davis and Joe Lauzon, amongst others, and this could nonetheless be a compelling, thrilling struggle.
And tonight will probably be no totally different.
Beginning at 8 p.m. ET (particulars right here), we’ve bought the fifth installment of BareKnuckle Combating Championship’s (BKFC) “KnuckleMania.” And it’s time for an epic matchup 20 years within the making (watch it on DAZN right here).
Oh, and did I point out the heavyweight championship can also be on the road? I don’t imagine I did. Large boys in no gloves throwing warmth for 8 kilos of gold — it’s former UFC star Ben Rothwell taking up the reigning heavyweight champion Mick Terrill. “Large Ben” is 3-0 in his bare-knuck profession whereas Terrill is driving a 4-fight win streak wherein he’s stopped his opponent each time.
Extra assured fireworks, for those who ask me.
