Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship Makes Explosive Debut in Perth

BKFC is bringing bare-knuckle fighting to Perth for the first time on July 19 at RAC Arena. Learn what to expect from this brutal new chapter in Australian MMA.

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) is officially coming to Australia, with its first-ever event down under set for July 19, 2025, at RAC Arena in Perth. Known for its no-gloves, full-contact format, BKFC is one of the world’s fastest-growing combat sports promotions — and now it’s coming to shake up the Australian fight scene.

BKFC 79 to Ignite Perth Fight Fans

BKFC 79 will be the promotion’s debut Australian event, following recent regulatory changes to Western Australia’s Combat Sports Act that now permit bare-knuckle bouts. Fans can expect a brutal, fast-paced spectacle unlike anything currently on the local scene.

Tickets and Broadcast Info

Tickets for BKFC 79 will be on sale soon, with broadcast details expected via BKFC’s official website and TrillerTV. Fight fans can also follow @australianmma for the latest updates, local fighter interviews, and behind-the-scenes content.
