Former UFC stars turned bare knucklers Darren Till and Yoel Romero faced off at the BKFC 94 launch press conference Tuesday in Manchester.
BKFC 94 takes place at Manchester’s AO Arena on 26 September and streams exclusively on DAZN.
The two fighters faced off for over two minutes after taking questions from the press.

Till said he’s going to finish the durable Romero, a feat that hasn’t been accomplished since Romero lost an MMA bout to Rafael Cavalcante in 2011. If he’s able to stop the former Cuban Olympian, it will be an impressive accomplishment.
Mundell to Defend BKFC Middleweight Title in Co-Main Event
BKFC Middleweight Champion David Mundell returns in the co-feature. Mundell makes his fifth title defence against the UK’s Jack Cullen.
“This means the world to me. I’m not letting this one go,” said Cullen, a former British super middleweight boxing champion with a 2-0 bare knuckle record.
Mundell was asked if he thought Cullen deserved a title shot after only winning two bouts. The straight shooting “Redneck” didn’t pull any punches in his reply.
“Short answer, no,” Mundell said.
“But my feelings are irrelevant. I don’t make the rankings. I don’t make the fights. If we did, I’d be fighting (Mike) Perry right now.”
“Either way, he stands across from me and I plan on putting him down,” said Mundell.
Three Title Fights Confirmed for BKFC 94: Manchester
In addition to the Till-Romero main event and Mundell vs Cullen, two British title fights are confirmed for the BKFC 94 fight card.
BKFC UK Cruiserweight Champion Karl Thompson defends the title against Andy Thornton.
Unbeatens Gaz Corran (2-0) and Mac Bygraves (2-0) collide for the inaugural BKFC UK Middleweight Championship.
