For the second time in his BKFC career, Lorenzo Hunt is looking to make history by attempting to become the first three-division bare-knuckle champion.The 43-year-old enters the fight as the reigning, defending BKFC light heavyweight champion, a belt he reclaimed with a highlight-reel knockout of Josh Dyer at BKFC 84. However, that title will not be on the line on Saturday, as he instead moves up two weight classes to face Walter Pugliesi for the inaugural ironweight title.The promotion announced the inaugural title one month before the fight in Naples, Italy. The new ironweight division will be contested at 225 pounds, serving as a bridge between cruiserweight (205) and heavyweight (unlimited).Hunt and Pugliesi have already come close to brawls on multiple occasions at the BKFC 91 press conference and ceremonial weigh-ins.TOMORROW NIGHT CAN’T COME ANY SOONER! 😮‍💨🤯#BKFC91 | Saturday at 1pm ET on BKFC+ pic.twitter.com/jSWPGciLkT— Bare Knuckle FC (@bareknucklefc) July 17, 2026Pugliesi, 2-0, enters his first world title fight after knocking out the experienced Karl Thompson at BKFC 83. 'The Kraken' transitioned to bare-knuckle boxing with a 9-3 MMA record, including one win in Bellator.Before Hunt and Pugliesi throw down, a pair of European title fights lead into the main event crescendo. Undefeated Ernesto Papa faces 21-year-old phenom Jindrich Byrtus for the BKFC European cruiserweight title in the co-main event, while Slovak slugger Tomas Melis takes on Dominik 'Toni' Estorer for the BKFC European light heavyweight title.BKFC 91 also features the return of 35-fight bare-knuckle legend Jimmy Sweeney on the main card. Sweeney has gotten off to a rough 0-2 start in the BKFC, but after facing a pair of ranked fighters, he draws a more favorable matchup against the debuting Nicholas Vescio.Lorenzo Hunt walking out to the ring. | BKFCBKFC 91 DateDate: Saturday, July 18, 2026BKFC 91 Start TimeTime: 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT (prelims begin at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT)How to Watch BKFC 91Stream: BKFC+ on the BKFC app (Prelims on YouTube)BKFC 91 Fight CardMain cardLorenzo Hunt (13-2) vs. Walter Pugliesi (2-0) — for the inaugural BKFC ironweight titleErnesto Papa (3-0) vs. Jindrich Byrtus (10-2) — for the BKFC European cruiserweight titleTomas Melis (5-0) vs. Toni Estorer (5-2) — for the BKFC European light heavyweight titleEnzo Tobbia (1-1) vs. Danny Christie (5-3) — middleweightJimmy Sweeney (29-6) vs. Nicholas Vescio (debut) — lightweightAndrea Bicchi (3-3) vs. Leonardo Damiani (debut) — light heavyweightMarco Giustarini (1-1) vs. Dan Chapman (6-1) — featherweightDominik Herold (7-1) vs. Arbi Chakaev (1-1) — cruiserweightGianni Melillo (debut) vs. Dawid Chylinski (4-3) — light heavyweightPawel Werszynin (4-2) vs. Ramy Elsayes (debut) — light heavyweightPrelimsCristian Sabbatini (debut) vs. Charli Marta (0-1) — lightweightMarco Saccaro (debut) vs. Christian Brinzan (debut) — middleweightAntonio Moscatiello (1-0) vs. Guglielmo Gicco (debut) — featherweightAdd us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
