Christine Ferea vs Jade Masson Wong

Here is the official press release from BKFC 65.


BKFC-65: CHRISTINE ‘MISFIT’ FEREA VICTORIOUS IN HISTORIC DEFENSE IN NIGHT OF KNOCKOUTS


Salt Lake City, UT (Sept. 6, 2024) Christine “Misfit” Ferea defended her BKFC World Women’s Flyweight Championship for a record fourth time in the BKFC-65 main event on Friday night at the sold-out Maverik Center in Salt Lake City, UT.


The Las Vegas fighter edged out Jade Masson-Wong in a back-and-forth, split-decision victory. Two judges scored it 49-46 for Ferea, while one judge scored it 49-46 for Masson-Wong, who entered fight night as the # 1 contender in the division.


Ferea improved to 9-1 with her victory. She has now won seven straight in the squared circle, the longest winning streak among any female fighter in BKFC history. Masson-Wong, a Montreal product who was vying to become the first Canadian BKFC champ, moves to 3-2 with the loss.


“We both came out here and put it on the line. She did her best, I did my best. I’m sorry, guys – my next performance will be better,” Ferea told the jam-packed Maverik Center. “Thank you to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, David Feldman, all of my sponsors – I appreciate you guys for giving me this opportunity.” 


All the action, as always, streamed LIVE globally on The BKFC App.


In the BKFC-65 co-main event, Jeremy “Lil Heathen” Stephens climbed to 2-0 with a unanimous decision over Bobby “ODB” Taylor, the #5 contender in the BKFC lightweight division. The 34-time UFC vet sent Taylor to the canvas once in each of the final three rounds. All three judges scored it 49-43 in favor of the San Diego-based Stephens. Taylor, a product of Pocahontas, TN, is now 6-3. The victory earned Stephens the BKFC ‘Performance of the Night’ while Taylor was awarded the ‘Balls of the Night’ for his valiant display. 


In Stephens’ post-fight interview, he called out combat sports legend/BKFC Partner Conor McGregor, with whom he shared a spirited verbal sparring match in the pre-fight press conference for UFC 205 in 2016. 


“Nobody deserves that fight more than me,” Stephens told the sold-out Maverik Center.  


In the BKFC-65 feature fight, Drako "The Great Drakolini" Rodriguez improved to 2-0 with a second straight stoppage victory over Trever Bradshaw. The Sioux City, IA lightweight, who previously competed in the UFC, scored the technical knockout 55 seconds into the second round. Bradshaw, who represents West Haven, UT, is now 1-1 under the BKFC banner.


Salt Lake City’s Mike Jones earned his first BKFC victory with a unanimous decision over Diego Romo of Quito, Ecuador in their light-heavyweight battle. Jones logged the only knockdown of the night, prompting all three judges to score the contest 50-44 in favor of the hometown fighter. Jones is now 1-1 in his BKFC career, while Romo moves to 0-2.


Debuting Coal Mountain, VA heavyweight Alex "The Rhino" Davis needed just 20 seconds to kick off his BKFC career with a technical knockout victory over West Bountiful, UT’s Hayden "The Berzerker" Brown. Brown was also stepping into the squared circle for the first time.


Williamsport, PA heavyweight Lewis "The Beast" Rumsey smashed his way back into the BKFC win column with a second-round stoppage over West Jordan, UT’s "The Mormon Meteor" Dr. Jeremy Morrison. The bout was stopped 36 seconds into the second round. Rumsey scored the only knockdown of the bout, upping his BKFC record to 2-4 in the process.


Kyle "The Irishman" McElroy earned his second BKFC victory with a 29-second stoppage of debuting Santaquin, UT fighter Lehi “Soldado” Dominguez in light-heavyweight action. McElroy, a product of Albuquerque, NM, is now 2-4 under the BKFC banner.


Glendale, UT welterweight Dominico "Mad Dog" Salas turned heads in his BKFC debut, dropping Kaine "K-9" Tomlinson Jr., five times en route to the corner stoppage at the conclusion of Round 2. Tomlinson Jr., who hails from Roanoke, VA, is now 1-1 in his BKFC career.


Maysville, KY’s Bryan "The Ice Man" McDowell defeated Ogden, UT’s Justin "The Lumberjack" McDonald via first-round knockout in their battle of debuting middleweights. The bout was called to a halt at the conclusion of the opening frame.


David "The Sandman" Sanchez of Hurricane, UT needed just 12 seconds to win his BKFC debut by knockout against debuting Vernal, UT fighter Ben "The Dangerous Gentleman" Robinson in cruiserweight action. 


‘Knockout of the Night’ winner, Las Vegas’ Zac Cavender turned heads in his BKFC debut, dropping San Francisco’s Conor Bracken twice en route to the 53-second stoppage victory in their matchup of debuting cruiserweights.


Debuting Hurricane fighter Brandon "The Downswarrior" Honsvick weathered an early onslaught to defeat Troy "The Terror" Dennison of Salt Lake City via 51-second technical knockout in their welterweight matchup in the opening fight of the night. Dennison’s record falls to 0-2 with the loss.
