With no major MMA events on the calendar for this weekend, the stage is set for Bare Knuckle FC to steal some spotlight in the combat sports realm. The promotion for Saturday’s BKFC 5 card, which features an Artem Lobov vs. Jason Knight featherweight main event, is already well underway after a media day on Tuesday in New York that grabbed headlines. Lobov is expected to meet former boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi in June if he’s able to emerge victorious in the matchup with Knight, which airs on pay-per-view from the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi.
