Wednesday, Jan 22 2025 by BKFC Staff

The BKFC World Heavyweight Championship belt is on the line Saturday in the Co-Main Event of KnuckleMania V at the iconic Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. The best heavyweight to ever grace the BKFC Squared Circle, Mick Terrill, is set to defend his belt for the second time against his toughest challenge yet, the undefeated “Big” Ben Rothwell, LIVE worldwide on DAZN.

We checked in with some of BKFC’s most savvy fighters for their insight on the biggest heavyweight showdown in the sport’s history.

Ruben “Bad Boy” Warr: I’m going with Mick.

Zeb “CWB” Vincent: Mick I feel is far more experienced in bare knuckle than “Big” Ben. I feel Mick takes the W with technique and skill. 

Crystal “The Lovely” Van Wyk: This fight goes to Mick Terrill via second-round TKO.

Andrew “Legend” Strode: This is gonna be a badass fight, but I’m going with Mick, the Champ!

Gabrielle Roman: I'm going with Terrill.

JR “The Lion” Ridge: Battle of the beasts. Going with Mick on this one.

Wanya “The Rated R Superstar” Reid: I feel like Mick Terrill will beat “Big” Ben by split decision. You know when you get two high-level fighters it becomes a chess match.

“Royal” Ryan Reber: I’m kinda leaning towards Mick, but this one is hard to call!

“Super” Chad Lucanas: Mick Terrill gets the win. 

Michael “Papa G” Larrimore: I’m not certain that “Big” Ben is gonna be able to keep up with the speed and accuracy of the champ. I think we see Mick get a finish inside three rounds.

Blake “Big Boy” LaCaze: This will be a speed-versus-power matchup in the heavyweight division for the crown. Hard to pick in this one. 

Ramiro Figueroa: I have to take Mick winning due to having more experience in the BKFC Squared Circle, and I believe he is faster and stronger.

“Slick” Rick Caruso: I think the champ, Mick Terrill, has his hands full with the monster of the division, but I think he holds on to the belt.
