Yes, an extraordinary incident unfolded during last night’s Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship event in Florida. The referee, Sam Burgos, attempted to halt the fight between Alberto Blas and Keith Richardson for the BKFC bantamweight championship in the first round, but things took an unexpected turn.
As the referee stepped in to stop the action, he noticed Richardson was stunned. Despite this, Richardson continued to fight, albeit against the referee. The former MMA fighter, now fighting with bare knuckles, unleashed a combination of punches at Sam Burgos, who retreated as best he could until he was assisted by officials from both teams. In the end, Blas was declared the new BKFC bantamweight champion.
