BKFC 76 Results
The Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas host the maiden voyage for BKFC in the Lone Star State.
An interim Lightweight champion will be crowned in the main event as number one contender Tony “Loco” Soto battle short notice opponent Ben “The Bomber” Bonner.
Soto won his first six fights in BKFC including decision wins over Tyler Goodjohn in the main event of BKFC 42 & Kevin Croom in the co-main event of BKFC 52 to put himself in title contention. This past October Soto & Franco Tenaglia engaged in an all-tine great fight that saw Tenaglia take the win by majority decision.
The rematch was originally going to headline BKFC 76 but visa issues kept Tenaglia from entering the country. Tenaglia was stripped of the BKFC Lightweight title for taking an MMA last weekend when the visa issues arose.
