BKFC 9 Review
It’s time for our first ever review of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship! I’ve been watching as a fan of BKFC for a good while now and I’m glad to be doing a review of the event that took place on Saturday night so let’s jump into it.
Adrian Miles Vs. Wes Combs
Round 1: Combs gets hit right off the bat! Miles drops him! Combs is on the canvas and Miles hits him with another punch just for good measure! Combs isn’t getting up from that! However, the referee rules this fight as a disqualification loss for Miles due to that illegal punch therefore Wes Combs picks up the win!
Thoughts: Not a fan of this. I wouldn’t say that was a disqualification, Combs was already out. Not a fan.
