This highly anticipated event will take place at Thunder Studios in Carson, California on Saturday, November 23, 2024. The event promises an electrifying evening of bare-knuckle fighting, a combat sport that is steadily gaining popularity.

The main attraction of BKFC Fight Night: Los Angeles will be the lightweight matchup between Ruben ‘Badboy’ Warr and Bovar ‘The Gladiator’ Khanakov.

Ruben Warr has been vocal about his frustration with the official timing of his record-seeking knockout. In a statement to MMA Fighting, Warr claimed, «I timed it at 2.7 seconds. People can say what they want or time it themselves but I had it at 2.7 seconds.» He is seeking the official recognition for the fastest knockout in BKFC history, which is currently held by Uly Diaz with a time of three seconds.

Warr is keen to secure another victory on Saturday and aims to earn a title shot against new champion Rico Franco. Despite his previous knockout success, Warr indicates he is not solely focused on repeating past glories. «I do believe in my skill and I do believe in my power so when I do touch Bovar, it’s going to be night-night,» said Warr.

As fight enthusiasts prepare for another thrilling night of BKFC action, Warr remains focused on climbing the rankings and proving his prowess within the sport. The main event at Thunder Studios promises to deliver high-octane action to bare-knuckle boxing fans in Los Angeles and beyond.
