BKFC 38 will open on Friday in Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Hollywood, Florida. Former BKFC World Bantamweight Champion Dat “Dat Be Dat” Nguyen (3-1, 1 KO) welcomes former Bellator MMA Champion Daniel Straus (debut) to the BKFC Squared Circle for the first bout in the Main Event.
Nguyen has established himself as one of the fiercest and most fan-friendly competitors in bare-knuckle fighting, but he hasn’t fought in 16 months due to personal issues. Straus’ illustrious MMA resume includes 18 Bellator fights and 11 stoppage wins. Will Nguyen prevail, or will Straus become the latest MMA transplant to have a successful BKFC debut? The stakes are high in this high-profile matchup in the BKFC featherweight class, which is wide open.
