Video: Lorenzo Hunt bashes Joe Riggs in face with tomato at BKFC 24 ceremonial faceoffs

BAD MMA News — Sat, 30 Apr 2022 02:52:11 +0000

Combat sports fans have often seen props, including food, at ceremonial faceoffs. The big fear by promotion operations staff and security usually is they’ll be turned into weapons, which they seldom, if ever, actually are. At the BKFC 24 ceremonial faceoffs Friday, however, that fear became a reality. A tomato prop weaponized as light heavyweight champion Lorenzo Hunt bashed the half-eaten fruit into the grill of former UFC fighter and next title challenger Joe Riggs . The two fighters were immediately separated before things escalated further. Unhappy as ever, Riggs got a verbal rebuttal in and called Hunt a “c*nt.” Meanwhile, Hunt found his stunt hilarious and cackled at Riggs from a separated distance before he played to the small crowd in attendance.

Fair or foul? Perspectives differ on ABC suspending 20 BKFC Montana fighters

BAD MMA News — Fri, 19 Nov 2021 01:54:47 +0000

The Association of Boxing Commissions recently suspended an entire fight card’s worth of athletes – 20 in total – who competed in a bare-knuckle boxing event that the ABC has said was “unsanctioned.” However, the promotion involved and an independent regulatory body disagree with that categorization and subsequent suspensions. The event in question, “BKFC Fight Night: Montana” took place Oct. 9 at First Interstate Arena in Billings, Mont., and it featured MMA notables of yesteryear Joe Riggs and Melvin Guillard in the main event

Two grizzled mixed martial arts veterans met to cap off BKFC’s event in Billings, Mont., on Saturday evening. Former UFC competitors Joe Riggs and Melvin Guillard took off the gloves to bare knuckle box at 185 pounds in the main event of Saturday’s BKFC Fight Night Montana. The event took place at the MetraPark Arena in Billings, Mont., and aired on the FITE and the BKTV app. The main event didn’t last very long. Guillard got the action started by offering a few punches, but Riggs decided to just defend the first few strikes instead of returning fire. Perhaps just getting a read on his opponent in the opening seconds, Riggs let the action come to him, until he decided it was time to strike

BKFC 18 video: Hector Lombard swings on Lorenzo Hunt after defeating Joe Riggs for cruiserweight title

BAD MMA News — Sun, 27 Jun 2021 06:39:29 +0000

The co-main event of BKFC 18 saw two veterans of MMA mix it up in what proved to be a wild contest filled with controversy during and after the fight. Former Bellator champion and UFC competitor Hector Lombard took on Joe Riggs in the third of four title fights on Saturday night. The fight itself ended in a controversial fashion as Lombard (3-0 BKFC) held on to Riggs’ (2-1-1 BKFC) shorts while landing a clean punch to the eye. As a result, Riggs could not continue because he said he could only see out of one eye, crowning Lombard the cruiserweight champion by doctor’s stoppage.
