Ben Rothwell points to his track record in response to anyone questioning the circumstances surrounding his fight-week withdrawal at BKFC 56. Rothwell was announced to be out of his scheduled heavyweight matchup with fellow former UFC heavyweight Todd Duffee this past Saturday just two days before the event.

Eddie Alvarez said shortly after his bareknuckle fight with Mike Perry that he believed his orbital was “smashed up” – and he was right. Alvarez, a former UFC and Bellator champion, lost to Perry this past Saturday at BKFC 56 after his cornermen decided to stop the fight. They did so after the second round once Alvarez told them he was struggling with his vision. On Monday, Alvarez shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) in which he confirmed suffering two fractures in his left orbital.

Unfortunately for Alvarez, Perry walked through a lot of his punches and was relentless with his attack to claim the promotion’s inaugural “King of Violence” belt.

It looks like Mike Perry already has an idea for the next page of the bareknuckle chapter of his fighting career. Perry suggested a fight against former UFC and WEC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis after his latest win inside the ring.

You can get away with being an athlete in boxing. You need to be a fighter to be in bareknuckle.” It’s understandable why Alvarez, a former UFC and Bellator champion, would reach that conclusion.
