A BKFC Strawweight Championship bout between Britain Hart and BKFC Thailand Strawweight Champion Fani Peloumpi is to headline the event.

The first ever BKFC World Women’s Strawweight Championship is up for grabs in the Main Event. American fan-favorite Britain Hart Beltran (5-3) takes on Greece’s Fani Peloumpi (1-0), the BKFC Thailand Women’s Strawweight Champion, in her first fight in the United States. Hart Beltran is undoubtedly one of the best female bare knuckle fighters on the planet, but she’s fallen short in all three of her BKFC title fights. She’s eager to test her mettle for a new title in a new weight class, but Peloumpi is no easy task. Riding high off her impressive BKFC debut in Thailand, Peloumpi’s combat sports resume includes a Muay Thai kickboxing record of 67-23-1.

In the Main Event, American fan-favorite Britain Hart Beltran (5-3) battles Greek kickboxing sensation Fani Peloumpi (1-0) for the inaugural BKFC World Women’s Strawweight Championship. Hart Beltran is one of the most talented female bare knuckle fighters on the roster, and she’s hungry to cement her status as the best female strawweight on the planet. Peloumpi, meanwhile, is eager to make a statement in her stateside debut after winning the BKFC Thailand Women’s Strawweight Championship in her most recent fight. Peloumpi also boasts a kickboxing record of 67-23-1.

In the Co-Main Event, Joe “Diesel” Riggs, the No. 5-ranked BKFC light-heavyweight contender, hunts for his fourth bare knuckle fighting victory against Josh “D-Day” Dyer (2-1). Riggs, a 12-time UFC vet from his days in MMA, is hoping to use his veteran prowess against the fast-rising Dyer, who holds stoppage victories over Dakota Cochrane and Jared Warren, the No. 4-ranked BKFC light-heavyweight.

Fan-favorite light-heavyweight contenders Joe “Diesel” Riggs and Josh “D-Day” Dyer clash in the Co-Main Event. Riggs’ bare knuckle fighting record is 3-2-1, and the former BKFC title challenger also had a very impressive MMA career before dropping his gloves, including 12 fights under the UFC banner. One of the longest-serving fighters on the BKFC roster, Riggs is ranked No. 5 in the light-heavyweight division. Dyer is 2-1 under the BKFC banner, with stoppage wins over Dakota Cochrane and Jared Warren, and hungry to enter the Top 5 rankings at the expense of a legend like “Diesel” Riggs.

The final two fights of the night are just the start when you’re talking about BKFC 29. This deep card includes No. 2-ranked BKFC featherweight Rusty Crowder (4-3) taking on No. 3-ranked Kai “Hefty Bag” Stewart (2-0), a battle of unbeaten welterweights Dallas Davison (2-0) and Gorjan "GoGo" Slaveski, the return of star strawweight prospect Jenny Savage (2-1), the No. 3 women's flyweight, against Veronika Dmitriyeva (0-0), and much more.
