Cochrane and Edwards Set for Explosive BKFC Showdown in Omaha

OMAHA, Neb. — The Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship returns to Omaha on Friday for an anticipated bout featuring Dakota Cochrane and Marcus Edwards. Scheduled for 8 p.m. ET at The Astro, the event promises thrilling action as Cochrane seeks to maintain his status in the sport and Edwards aims to keep his undefeated record intact.
Cochrane, a local favorite with a record of 7-2, is coming off a series of dominant performances, including a recent TKO victory over Will Santiago. Known for his aggressive fighting style, Cochrane has showcased his power in the ring, riding a four-fight knockout streak. “This is my home, and I’m ready to put on a show for my fans,” Cochrane stated ahead of the fight.
Edwards, hailing from Denver, holds an unblemished record of 3-0 in BKFC competitions and has previously defeated Cochrane in an MMA match more than a decade ago. “This is the most important fight of my career. Dakota is standing between me and that title, and I’m ready to take him out. I’m ready to take his head off,” Edwards declared, determined to solidify his standing in the middleweight division.
The event is not just about the main fight. The co-main features a welterweight clash between Bryce Henry and Derrick Findley. Henry brings an undefeated record of 4-0, while Findley looks to improve on his 3-2 slate. A solid undercard will include competitors like Dionisio Ramirez and Zebulin Vincent, both eager to establish themselves in the BKFC.
Basketball fans who miss the NBA season can also find their entertainment in the United Football League, where the Memphis Showboats will face the Michigan Panthers on the same day. The Showboats, struggling early in the season, will look to find their rhythm against a Panthers team led by quarterback Bryce Perkins.
