Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship is heading back to familiar territory in Florida this fall, and a pair of bantamweight rivals will be waiting at the top of the card.
BKFC Fight Night Clearwater takes place Friday, Oct. 23, at the OCC Roadhouse and Museum in Clearwater, Fla. The event marks the promotion’s fourth trip to the venue and will feature No. 2-ranked bantamweight contender Ryan Reber against Justin Street in the main event.
The action begins at 8 p.m. ET, with doors opening at 7 p.m. ET. Tickets are currently on sale through BKFC.
“The OCC Roadhouse and Museum is one of our favorite venues, with the fans and the fights always making for an electrifying atmosphere,” said BKFC founder and president David Feldman. “Ryan Reber and Justin Street are ready to settle their score in a high-stakes headliner, and we’ve got a stacked undercard featuring numerous world-class and fast-rising local bare-knuckle fighters for another can’t-miss night in Clearwater.”
Reber enters the contest with an 8-2 bare-knuckle record and another opportunity to strengthen his position near the top of the promotion’s bantamweight division. The Pinellas Park, Fla., fighter is coming off a dominant decision victory over Joshua Oxendine on April 24 at the same OCC Roadhouse and Museum.
The former BKFC world title challenger will face an opponent carrying considerable momentum into Clearwater.
Street has won three straight fights since suffering the second loss of his BKFC career. “The Nightmare” most recently stopped Ronny Hauser in the fourth round on June 26 in Hammond, Ind. That victory followed a unanimous decision over AJ Craig in November 2025 and a second-round knockout of Matt Russo in March 2025.
Street’s current run has improved his BKFC record to 4-2 and gives him an opportunity to make a significant jump in the bantamweight picture by defeating the division’s No. 2-ranked contender.
Another highly ranked former champion will take center stage in the co-main event.
Former BKFC light heavyweight world champion Jared Warren returns against undefeated Thomas Angeloff. Warren, who fights out of Tampa, Fla., brings an 8-3 record into the contest and will look to build upon his first-round knockout of Joseph Creer in May 2025.
Angeloff has only made two appearances inside the BKFC squared circle, but neither opponent has made it to the final bell. He knocked out Travis Smith in the second round in October 2025 before producing another second-round knockout against Joseph Schillizzi in June.
The feature fight brings former bantamweight world title challenger Michael Larrimore back into action against Nate Morrow.
Larrimore challenged Jamel Herring for the BKFC bantamweight world championship on May 22, going the distance in the defeat. The Florida fighter carries a 3-2 record into his return against Morrow, who has not competed for BKFC since making his promotional debut in May 2024. Morrow knocked out Josh Krejci in the third round of that contest.
The remainder of the card features a strong Florida presence.
St. Petersburg’s Mike Heckert faces Rickie Mcconnico in a welterweight contest, while Crystal Van Wyk welcomes promotional newcomer Noelia Vasallo to BKFC in the women’s strawweight division.
Undefeated middleweights Tony Murphy and Brandon Conley will also put their records on the line against each other. Murphy enters at 3-0, while Conley brings a 3-0-1 record into the matchup.
The middleweight division will also feature newcomers Tyler Baker and Yari Kaganovsky. At lightweight, Sam Delao and Chris Keirn will make their BKFC debuts against each other.
Jason Dinunzio will look for his first BKFC victory when he faces Gabriel Freyre in another lightweight contest.
Rounding out the announced lineup, Chachi Versace meets Angelo Trujillo in a men’s flyweight bout.
With Reber attempting to maintain his place among the leading contenders at bantamweight, Street riding a three-fight winning streak and Warren facing an undefeated opponent in the co-main event, BKFC’s fourth stop at the OCC Roadhouse and Museum has several divisional implications.
BKFC Fight Night Clearwater takes place Friday, Oct. 23, at the OCC Roadhouse and Museum in Clearwater, Fla. The first fight is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET.
