BKFC Boss’s Disappointment
David Feldman, the head of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), expressed clear aggravation following BKFC 90 in Birmingham, England. He had set aside additional funds to reward fighters who delivered extraordinary finishes, but the card reportedly fell short of expectations.
Conor McGregor’s Request
Adding to the buzz before the fights was Conor McGregor’s request that BKFC implement post-fight bonuses, presumably giving athletes extra incentive for standout performances. McGregor’s involvement generated excitement, yet it did not translate into the kind of decisive, thrilling moments Feldman was hoping to see in the ring.
No Bonus-Worthy Highlights
With Feldman ready to hand out rewards, the event offered few opportunities to single out fighters for extraordinary accomplishments. Post-fight, he admitted feeling “aggravated” by the overall lack of bonus-worthy wins, a sentiment fueled by the high anticipation the night carried.
Aftermath of BKFC 90
Because no bonuses were granted, Feldman found himself holding onto the funds he had initially planned to distribute. This outcome was a disappointment for a promoter who wanted to spotlight impressive finishes and reward the fighters responsible. Instead, Feldman’s unexpected savings underscored the flat nature of the results.
Looking Ahead
While Feldman may be leaving Birmingham with more money than he had anticipated, the frustration lingers for an event that stirred excitement yet did not deliver the thrilling knockouts or submissions fans and promoters crave. Next time around, Feldman will be hoping his fighters rise to the occasion—and that he can hand out every last dollar intended for post-fight bonuses.
