World Bare Knuckle Fighting Federation is working to save the main event for its inaugural show after headliner Brennan Ward announced he’s withdrawn from the card. Ward (14-6 MMA), a former Bellator star, claimed the bare-knuckle promoter “won’t honor the contract that was originated” for a fight with ex-UFC champion Johny Hendricks (18-8 MMA). Ward wrote on Instagram that he “had to decline this fight and do what’s best for me.” To all my followers: WBKFF won’t honor the contract that was originated for this fight to happen between me and Johny Hendricks. So for that I had to declide this fight and do what was best for me! All the respect in the world to Big Rig Johny Hendricks and to all my followers I am sorry this all happened last minute. This will NOT be the last time you hear from me! Reguards BWARD!!! WBKFF’s first event takes place Friday at the Casper Events Center in Casper, Wyo.
