The energy was palpable in Myrtle Beach as Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) brought its Prospect Series to South Carolina for the first time, captivating a roaring crowd with some of the sport’s most promising fighters. Taking place last Saturday, the event showcased a seamless blend of local talent and the high-octane atmosphere BKFC has become known for.
The broadcast team added to the excitement, with rising BKFC personality Chachi Versace stepping into the role of interviewer. Mid-event, he shared an insightful conversation with long-time BKFC insider Surge, who provided a look behind the scenes of BKFC’s latest South Carolina showcase. As the arena pulsed with cheers and excitement, Surge noted the crowd’s enthusiastic response to the fights, emphasizing that South Carolina had already proven itself as a prime location for BKFC events.
In reflecting on the state’s role in the promotion's expansion, Surge acknowledged the strong support from the South Carolina Athletic Commission. Having previously hosted a major BKFC event, the state’s willingness to work with BKFC to establish a bare-knuckle tradition has only grown. Surge shared that the commission’s backing was instrumental in organizing this debut of the Prospect Series, which focuses on identifying and fostering up-and-coming fighters. BKFC, in fact, has already scheduled a return to Myrtle Beach on January 10th, with Surge hinting at plans to make South Carolina a consistent feature on their event calendar.
Surge also took a moment to share his journey with BKFC, revealing that he first joined forces with BKFC founder David Feldman in 2018. Feldman’s vision to elevate bare-knuckle fighting has inspired Surge and the team, who are all dedicated to helping BKFC grow into the top combat sports promotion globally. Feldman’s leadership and unwavering support for fighters were described as pivotal to the organization’s success, with the event serving as a testament to the passion behind BKFC's vision.
Chachi wrapped up the interview with a nod to the family-like atmosphere of the BKFC community. As both a fighter and a fan, Chachi highlighted the platform BKFC provides for its athletes, helping them reach audiences they wouldn’t otherwise have. The roster of fighters present—selected not only for their talent but for their ability to connect with fans—embodies the spirit that BKFC wants to champion, according to Surge.
The Myrtle Beach show, with its sold-out crowd and enthusiastic reception, underscored BKFC’s growing influence in South Carolina. As anticipation builds for BKFC’s January return, this weekend’s event set a new benchmark, marking Myrtle Beach as a rising stronghold for the sport and leaving fans eager to see what’s next for the promotion.
