Johnny Bedford usually points down to the center of the ring, daring his opponent to square off with him toe-to-toe. Not this time, though, not with a world title on the line and a 5-0 record to defend. On Feb. 5, Bedford was all business. The fighters threw a few headshots. When they landed, bare knuckles scraped skin, slicing it open and sending blood dripping down to the fighters feet.
The way Bedford sees it, bare-knuckle boxing is a sport tailor-made for him. He stepped into the ring that Friday night in Tampa, Florida, undefeated in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, hoping to become the best bare-knuckle boxer of all time. Bedford yelled to his opponent, former boxer Dat Nguyen, Time to walk that talk!

Tyler Goodjohn hopes a documentary on his career and personal life will inspire people to take up bare knuckle boxing.
The documentary, called Unbroken , follows Goodjohn over 12 weeks leading up to his Bare Knuckle Boxing (BKB) featherweight title showdown with Sean George in September 2019.
The Wentworth warrior has been advertising the hour-long programme, produced by online video channel Pulped, on his social media channels and has so far been viewed over 630,000 times.
But although he works as a porn star for adult social network OnlyFans, Goodjohn still eyes another return to the sport he made his name in and hopes the positive reaction from his documentary can spur him on.

The 26-year-old “12 Gauge” ended her Octagon run last year after a submission loss to Amanda Ribas and now faces a stiff test in the durable Hart, who’s gone 4-4-3 as a professional boxer and 1-2 in the “Squared Circle.” The two losses came via split decision to UFC veteran Bec Rawlings and via cut stoppage to current division standout Christine Ferea. The evening’s best match up comes in the co-feature, which sees Octagon washout turned undefeated (5-0) bareknuckle menace, Johnny Bedford, defend his Bantamweight title against former 20-3 professional boxer Dat Nguyen. In addition, Chris Leben returns to action against Quentin Henry (2-0).
