“Hard Rock Live is truly a special venue for BKFC, it’s been home to three huge events we’ve promoted, the most recent in June of this year setting the venue’s combat sports attendance record, ” said David Feldman, President of BKFC. ‘We’re excited to bring our first ‘Double Champ’, Luis Palomino, back to Hard Rock Live for a world title defense against the hard-charging Tom Shoaff. For Palomino it’s a title defense against a very strong and tough fighter and for Shoaff it’s an opportunity to change his whole life with a victory.”

“Our co-feature for the vacant BKFC Middleweight World Championship has two fighters, Francesco Ricchi and David Mundell, who have earned the opportunity to fight for this prestigious title through their outstanding previous performances in the squared circle.”

“Tickets are already moving very fast and I strongly advise BKFC fans to purchase their tickets well in advance to ensure entry on December 3.”

BKFC’s first ‘Double Champ’, Luis Palomino, in his most recent fight, won the BKFC Welterweight World Title defeating Elvin Brito on June 24, 2022 at Hard Rock Live. (The welterweight title will not be at stake against Shoaff.) Palomino earned the BKFC Lightweight World Title on July 24, 2020 with a first-round knockout of Isaac Vallie-Flagg. The popular native of Peru has made four successful defenses of the lightweight title against Jim Alers, Tyler Goodjohn, Dat Nguyen and Martin Brown. Palomino presently sits atop the BKFC Pound-for-Pound rankings.

Tom Shoaff is currently riding a three-fight winning streak; stopping Bruce Lutchmedial in the third round on April 21, 2022 at BKFC Fight Night Fort Lauderdale. Other stoppage wins came against Josh Wright at BKFC Fight Night Montana on October 9, 2021 and Nathan Mitchell on April 30, 2021 at BKFC-17.

Co-featured at BKFC-34, #1 Ranked and Interim Title Holder, Francisco Ricchi, (5-0), of Fort Lauderdale, FL and David ‘Redneck’ Mundell, (5-1), of Dunedin, FL will battle for the vacant BKFC Middleweight World Title. Since his BKFC debut in 2020, Ricchi has validated his position as a top contender, most recently scoring a first-round stoppage over former world title challenger Uly Diaz on June 24, 2022 at BKFC-26. The hard-hitting, Italian born Ricchi also holds dominant victories over Jake Bostwick, Noah Cutter, Brian Maxwell and Fred Pierce.

Heavy-handed southpaw Mundell challenges for the world title following a tremendous performance, knocking out David Simpson in the fifth round at BKFC Fight Night Tampa 2

on July 23, 2022. Mundell also holds commanding victories over Julian Lane, Stanislav Grosu, Ronnie Forney and Drew Lipton, his only loss coming to former world champion Hector Lombard at BKFC-10.
