\"ConorThe Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship<\/a> (BKFC) hasn’t been around for very long but they are making big news in the combat sports market with BKFC 6 pay-per-view<\/strong> which is scheduled to take place on June 22 at the Florida State Fairgrounds. <\/p>\n

David Feldman, president of BKFC has said that this card is arguably the most discussed combat sports event of the summer and that is due to the crazy antics and heated press conferences between Paulie Malignaggi and Artem Lobov<\/strong> who headline the card. <\/p>\n

If you are a boxing fan, you know Paulie Malignaggi<\/a> for he competed in professional boxing from 2001 to 2017 and held the WBA welterweight title from 2012 to 2013. He now works as a boxing analyst and commentator but has decided to for some reason to kick-start his career in BKFC. He will make his first appearance at the BKFC promotion when he fights Lobov.<\/p>\n

Malignaggi made headlines in 2017 when he was invited to be a part of Conor McGregor\u2019s camp when he was preparing to fight Floyd Mayweather. McGregor published video footage of knocking down Malignaggi during sparring which infuriated Malignaggi and created bad blood between the two. <\/p>\n
