Julian "Let Me Bang" Lane earned his third straight BKFC victory in Saturday’s BKF show in Billings, Montana. Lane defeated former boxing junior middleweight contender Alfredo “El Perro” Angulo via unanimous decision in their hotly anticipated match-up. The fighters weighed about 170 pounds each. Two judges scored the fight 49-46, while one had it 48-47, all in favor of the Ohio man, Lane. Overall, Lane evened his bare knuckle fighting record to 7-7 with Saturday’s victory. Angulo, who hails from Mexicali, Mexico, is now 1-1 in his BKFC career. Lane called out BKFC champion Austin “No Doubt” Trout in his post-fight interview. “Much respect to everything you’ve accomplished. You’ve proven that you’re built for this (expletive),” Lane said. “I’m ready to put myself to the test, and hopefully you honor that challenge, and hopefully we can put on a show for all the fans.”

In the main event “King” Kai Stewart defended his BKFC featherweight title for the third time by defeating Jimmie “El Terror” Rivera at the sold-out First Interstate Arena. All three judges scored the bout in favor of the Great Falls, MT product, who made history in 2023 at age 22 as the youngest World Champion in BKFC history. Two judges scored the bout 50-45, while one had it 49-46. Stewart improved to 7-0 with the victory. Rivera, an 11-time UFC vet hailing from Ramsey, NJ, fell to 2-2-1 with the loss. “I strive to be the best; I honestly thought I was going to take him out. I still believe that I’m the best in the BKFC,” Stewart told the jam-packed First Interstate Arena in his post-fight interview. “I cleaned out the 145 division. I may not be ready for 155. I want to make sure that I’m ready, but being the two-division champ is in my future. I’m the king, and the king will never die, baby!”
