Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Brian Mazique | Last updated Aug 6, 2026 9:52 AM ET

Former UFC stars who nearly reached the top of the mountain in MMA have found new life in other combat sports. Darren Till and Yoel Romero will clash in the main event of BKFC 94 and it is shaping up to be one of the promotion's biggest events of the year. Let's talk bare knuckle.

Till is coming off a KO victory in his bare knuckle debut against Aaron Chalmers in May. Romero has also tried his hands at bare knuckle, so both men know exactly what to expect. Till will have a 16-year age advantage. He's 33 and Romero is 49.

One note on Till's debut: BKFC's own release calls it a first-round knockout, while other accounts have him stopping Chalmers 22 seconds into round two.

Feldman said the hype will make it "the biggest event that we've done in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship history." Romero kept his response short at the press conference. "You've got a real nightmare in front of you," he said. Till pointed at a fight that never happened: "Mike Perry ran off to fight Nate Diaz."
