A fan's guide
KnuckleMania is BKFC's equivalent of a pay-per-view supershow, with multiple title fights and the promotion's biggest names.
KnuckleMania VII in Miami in February 2027 will be headlined by Andrei Arlovski against Leonardo Perdomo for the heavyweight title.
Our take
KnuckleMania 6 was BKFC's biggest night, and putting the heavyweight title on Arlovski — a former UFC champion — gave the promotion a recognisable face. KnuckleMania VII's main event against unbeaten Leonardo Perdomo is a genuine test of whether that reign can last.
We think Perdomo is the favourite.
