In a pause period over the holidays and into the New Year like many other combat sports promotions, BKFC is looking to kick off 2025 with a bang. Among its year-opening events is a BKFC on DAZN card scheduled for Feb. 1 at Mohegan Sun Arena. The card is the promotion’s second in New England after its debut in the Uncasville, Conn., venue in 2024. The lineup continues to fill, but some names notable to MMA fans have already been added, including four UFC alumni, two “TUF” competitors and a veteran Bellator brawler

One of the most violent fighters in Bellator history took the gloves off in retirement in 2024 – but also perhaps to signal his entry into bareknuckle boxing. Connecticut’s Brennan Ward has signed with BKFC, the promotion announced recently. He will debut Feb. 1 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., an area in which he is hugely popular and served as a big ticket seller in for Bellator over the years

Brennan Ward has decided to call it quits on MMA. The Bellator veteran announced his retirement from the sport following his first-round submission loss to Magomed Umalatov on the main card of 2024 PFL 6 , which went down on Friday at Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, S.D. It was a quick night for Ward (17-9), as Umalatov (16-0) took him down early in the fight and then worked his way to an anaconda choke, which produced the tap. With this result, Umalatov now advances to the 2024 PFL welterweight playoffs.

Brennan Ward is no longer a Bellator-branded fighter. For the first time in over a decade, Ward (17-7) is actively competing, but not under the Bellator banner. A staple of the promotion, Ward debuted at Bellator 81 in 2012. He competed 19 times for the promotion over the 12 years, though five he was inactive as he temporarily retired to battle drug addiction. Coming off a loss to Logan Storley in August, Ward was eager to fight again as soon as injuries healed. When it came time to step back in the cage, however, things were a bit murky

The new era of PFL is here and Brennan Ward will be a part of it. One of the longest tenured members of the Bellator roster, Ward (17-7) enters the 2024 PFL welterweight regular season as a replacement for fellow import Kyle Crutchmer , promotion officials recently informed MMA Junkie. Ward’s first regular season bout will take place April 19 at 2024 PFL 3 in Chicago as he faces former UFC fighter Don Madge (10-4-1) in a three-round preliminary card bout at Wintrust Arena. Ward, 35, joined Bellator in 2012. After 15 fights for the promotion including a title shot that he earned through a Bellator middleweight tournament, Ward retired from mixed martial arts. Behind the scenes, Ward struggled with severe drug addiction and other personal issues, which he revealed in a 2022 tell-all interview with MMA Junkie , shortly before he announced his sobriety and comeback
