V noči na nedeljo je v Koloradu gostovala ameriška organizacija boksa brez rokavic Bare-Knuckle Fighting Championship. S svojim 41. turnirjem so v Broomfieldu priredili izjemen šov, na katerem je potekalo 11 dvobojev, polnih zanimivih imen. V glavni borbi večera je v svojem tretjem nastopu za organizacijo zmagal še tretjič nekdanji UFC borec Mike Perry. Tokrat je v drugi rundi ustavil bivšega UFC prvaka Lukea Rockholda. Dvoboj si je v živo ogledal tudi znani Irec Conor McGregor in morda nakazal nastop tudi v boksu brez rokavic v daljni prihodnosti:

Bizarre ending to this fight 😕 Mike Perry defeats Luke Rockhold via referee stoppage.
