Back in November 2019, the UFC created a “BMF” title belt especially for a fight between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz at UFC 244, which Masvidal won. The “King of Violence” title is different, but it’s nothing new. Mike Perry and Eddie Alvarez traded body shots at their first #BKFC56 faceoff 👊 😬 /j3pTPOTTLR They’re different, and that’s why they’re fighting for the ‘King of Violence’ championship.” It’s not more dangerous than anything else out there, but you have to be a different kind of person to fight bare-knuckle fighting, and these guys are. “I’m happy about it, and I’m happy to be able to do something a little different up here,” Feldman said. The belt, which Feldman said won’t be ready for another week, will be awarded to the Perry-Alvarez winner. When former UFC standouts Mike Perry and Eddie Alvarez compete in the BKFC 56 headliner next month, a belt will be on the line in the form of the promotion’s newly created “King of Violence” championship.ĭuring Thursday’s BKFC 56 news conference in Salt Lake City, BKFC president David Feldman said the promotion settled on a design for the belt after receiving votes from 47,000 fans who picked from three designs. A new combat sports title gimmick is about to take center stage.
