BKFC BREAKING NEWS: #1 ranked featherweight Kai Stewart meets Louie Lopez for the open BKFC Featherweight title on June at BKFC 44

GREAT FALLS, MONTANA: Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) makes its triumphant return to Great Falls, Montana Friday, June 9, 2023.

The undefeated BKFC 22-year-old phenom Kai Stewart has taken the featherweight division by storm since his arrival at “Toe the Line” at BKFC Montana in 2021. 3-0 with 2KO’s Kai is looking for his place at the table on June 9th as he takes on fellow Montana fighter Louie Lopez. 

Lopez who is has been making waves in the Featherweight division since his debut at BKFC New York in 2021. Lopez is currently the #2 ranked BKFC Featherweight. Lopez is currently riding a two-fight win streak since his loss to Rusty Crowder at BKFC 24. 

This is not the first time Stewart and Lopez were supposed to meet. The two Montana fighters were supposed to meet on three different occasions in MMA where Stewart has a 1-0 pro record and Lopez is currently 0-3 as a pro in MMA. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, all three fights failed to happen.

“This is our fourth event in the true fighting state of Montana and our third in front of the amazing fans in Great Falls,” said David Feldman, President of BKFC. “Kai Stewart and Louie Lopez are the top-ranked featherweights in BKFC and have absolutely earned the opportunity to fight for a world championship with their impressive victories leading up to this highly anticipated cross-town battle.”

“BKFC is selling out arenas all over the United States and this event judging by the massive support we’ve received in Montana will absolutely sell out so I strongly encourage fans to purchase in advance for this ca n’t-miss BKFC event.”

A cage or a ring Lopez and Stewart were destined to meet. The funny thing about destiny is you can face it, run from it or you may even dread it but it arrives all the same. Destiny will arrive in Great Falls Montana at BKFC 44 to crown the BKFC Featherweight Champion.
