Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship will now be available for viewers to watch its upcoming events in a new home.

Officials of BKFC announced a three-year broadcast agreement with DAZN Worldwide, which will include live fight cards, pay-per-view events, and other programming for subscribers.

The partnership begins with the BKFC card in Marbella, Spain on Oct. 12, as stated in a press release to MMA Junkie.

“Our collaboration with DAZN marks a significant step in BKFC’s global expansion,” said BKFC president David Feldman. “This deal enables us to bring the thrilling action of BKFC to a larger worldwide audience. DAZN shares our goal of advancing the sport of bare-knuckle fighting, and together, we will provide an unmatched experience to combat sports fans globally.”

BKFC held its inaugural event in June 2018 and has steadily gained recognition since then.

Former UFC champion Conor McGregor recently acquired a stake in the company and has been actively promoting the brand to his vast audience.
