Bare Knuckle FC has announced the launch of the BKFC Prospect Series which will debut on August 24 in Miami.

Bare-knuckle fighting has come a long way in recent years; with BKFC featuring the likes of former UFC standouts such as Eddie Alvarez, Mike Perry, and Luke Rockhold. Perry has made a name for himself as arguably a bigger star in BKFC than he was at any point in his UFC tenure.

BKFC has arguably had its most successful calendar year in 2023. An event headlined by Perry vs. Rockhold drew the attention of many around combat sports and helped move bare-knuckle boxing into the mainstream.

BKFC President David Feldman is hard at work to continue the promotion's growth, beginning with the new 'BKFC Prospect Series' set to launch later this year.

Fighters on the Prospect Series will compete in front of Feldman and other BKFC brass members for a chance at a contract. The series will work similarly to that of the UFC's Dana White's Contender Series and the PFL's Challenger Series.

The show will provide the opportunity for bare-knuckle fighters competing on regional scenes to get their foot in the door to the the fighting style's top platform. It'll run as a monthly event streamed live on the BKFC app.

The first event takes place at Arnold Hall in Miami the night before BKFC 49 takes place at the same venue.
