BKFC title fight headlines in Florida today

BKFC 66 goes down today (Friday) at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, streamed live on the BKFC App. The two best bantamweights in bare knuckle fighting collide in the main event as Alberto “El Indio” Blas (5-0) defends his BKFC title for the first time against "Royal" Ryan Reber (6-0). [In BKFC, bantamweight is 135 pounds]. All of Blas' wins have come by stoppage in the first round. He won his BKFC title in June with a 70-second KO over previously undefeated Keith Richardson. None of Blas' fights have lasted longer than 72 seconds. Reber is undoubtedly Blas' toughest task yet as he looks to rack up his fifth stoppage victory in the squared circle.
 
In the co-feature, Howard "HD" Davis battles the undefeated James "Get Down" Brown, who is 3-0 with 2 KOs. But wins don’t come easily against Davis, who’s headhunting for his seventh triumph in BKFC. 
 
The ringside judges almost certainly won't be needed when surging heavyweight Leonardo "El Zombo" Perdomo looks to up his record to 5-0 with a fifth straight, first-round finish against his toughest challenge yet, Steve “Panda” Banks. All of Banks’ wins have also come by stoppage, and his sole loss came against reigning BKFC heavyweight champion Mick Terrill.
 
The #3 contender in BKFC's bantamweight division, Justin "Joy Boy" Ibarrola (4-0), also returns to action Friday as he meets Justin "The Nightmare" Street (1-0). BKFC 66 includes a mix of other unbeaten prospects, like bantamweight Dameko “Lotto” Labon (2-0), and established bare knuckle fan-favorites, like Jeremy "Pitbull" Smith (3-2) and Stephen "Tomahawk" Townsel (3-4), who lock horns in a cruiserweight battle. All the action, as always, streams LIVE globally on The BKFC App.
