On Saturday, bare knuckle boxing breaks new ground in the state of Michigan with BKFC Fight Night Michigan at the legendary Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mount Pleasant. The BKFC app will stream the action live. The future of the BKFC cruiserweight division will be on full display as Michigan's own Esteban “Mohawk” Rodriguez locks horns with Zac Cavender of Las Vegas. Rodriguez has won four of his first five BKFC fights, with all of his victories coming by stoppage. He most recently made history with a jaw-dropping, three-second KO in July. Cavender is unbeaten in his first two trips to the squared circle, with both victories ending in less than 65 seconds.

Two of the sport's most dangerous featherweights, Nathan “The Reaper” Rivera and Tommy “The Farmer” Strydom, collide in Saturday's co-feature. An Atlanta product, Rivera is undefeated in his first four BKFC fights, with all but one of those wins coming by stoppage. Staring down “The Reaper” is Strydom, who is 4-1 with three knockouts. The South African's sole loss came in his most recent matchup against “King” Kai Stewart in their clash for the BKFC featherweight championship.

Saturday's action at the Soaring Eagle features an exciting mix of hungry prospects and established BKFC fan-favorite fighters like Taylor “The Ragin’” Bull, Joseph “Dark Knight” Creer, AJ “A-Train” Craig, Erick “El Travieso” Lozano, David “Tha Sandman” Sanchez and Justin “The Nightmare” Street.
