There may be no UFC action this Fourth of July weekend, but Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) is stepping in with its own slate of punches. The promotion returns this Friday (July 3, 2026) to Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, featuring two title bouts: Austin Trout versus Ben Bonner and Britain Hart against Sarah Shell. During Thursday’s weigh-ins, the BKFC flair was in full effect, with a tense moment between welterweights Patrick Sullivan and Ruben Arroyo turning physical. What started as a routine shadowbox quickly escalated as the fighters jockeyed for position, leading Sullivan to shove Arroyo off the stage. BKFC President David Feldman was on hand and did not mask his frustration, shoving Sullivan and loudly demanding, “What the f—k would you do that for? What the f—k is your problem, you f*****g punk?” The incident drew attention on social media, with footage capturing Feldman’s outburst. Fortunately, Arroyo appeared to be uninjured and is believed to be ready to compete on Friday. While Feldman’s reaction was extreme for a promotional head, it underscores the unpredictable, no-nonsense nature of BKFC events. Fans will be watching closely to see how this incident affects the card, and what unfolds at BKFC: Liberty Brawl results and highlights tomorrow for those following the action.
