Tensions ran high at last night’s BKFC 90 ceremonial weigh-ins as Rico Franco and Connor Tierney had to be separated.
The two men went nose-to-nose during their main event faceoff and a scuffle ensued. Video below courtesy of BKFC.
The good news is both men came under the welterweight limit of 165 lbs, so the BKFC Interim Welterweight Title will be on the line tonight at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena.
In the co-main, UFC veteran Darren Till and MMA and bare knuckle veteran and former Geordie Shore cast member Aaron Chalmers meet in Till’s bare knuckle debut.
Both men came in over the BKFC light heavyweight limit of 185 lbs. Till weighed 188.8 lbs and Chalmers 187.7 lbs.
