Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), The World’s Fastest Growing Combat Sports Promotion, returns to Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, FL on Friday, March 20 headlined by BKFC Featherweight World Champion ‘King’ Kai Stewart, (8-0), returning to South Florida and defending his title for the fifth time against BKFC Featherweight European Champion Nico Gaffie, (3-0).

“This is our 14th event at Hard Rock Live and we’re thrilled to return for our first show in 2026,” said David Feldman, Founder and President of BKFC. “Kai Stewart is one of our most exciting, homegrown young stars who has been victorious in every fight, however Nico Gaffie has impressively stopped all three of his opponents and presents a very tough challenge at BKFC-87. Two undefeated champions at the top of their game, this one will be fireworks from the opening bell.”

“I strongly encourage fans to purchase their tickets in advance as every event we’ve promoted at Hard Rock Live has sold-out.”

Fighting out of Great Falls, MT, the 25-year-old Kai Stewart thrilled the sold-out Hard Rock Live crowd in his South Florida debut with a dominant decision over highly ranked and previously undefeated world title challenger Bryan Duran on June 21, 2024. Following up, the BKFC homegrown champion defeated top rivals Jimmie Rivera in front of a huge hometown crowd on November 9, 2024, and Tommy Strydom on April 5, 2025 in Dubai.

A native of Marbella, Spain, and making his U.S. debut on March 20, Nico Gaffie has quickly impressed bare-knuckle fans with all three of his fights ending by knockout. Premiering under the BKFC banner on October 12, 2024 in his hometown, Gaffie stopped Radek Stadler in the second round. Following up, the 29-year-old knocked out Brandon Allen in the fourth round on April 5, 2025, in Dubai. Most recently fighting in Rome, Italy, Gaffie stopped Jelle Zeegers in the opening stanza on October 25, 2025, earning the BKFC Featherweight European Title.
