Said BYB President Mike Vazquez, “BYB continuously puts on some of the most exciting events in all of sports. Anyone who’s seen our events in-person or streaming live can attest to that. This can be directly attributed to our fighters, and also our matchmaker Mel Valenzuela  – who not only finds the best bare knuckle talent in the world, but puts them in the best position to be competitive and succeed in the Trigon. From the fighters to the fans to BYB itself, everyone wins.”

“Thank you to all those fighters who have put their faith in us and contributed to our rapid growth and success. These signings speak to our commitment to our fighters and our fighter development program,” he added.
