Rules

BKFC holds all bouts in a circular four-rope ring, referred to as the "Squared Circle". This ring incorporates elements of historical bare knuckle fighting by containing two scratch lines, three feet apart and in the middle of the ring. These scratch lines are based on the Broughton Rules, which governed bare knuckle fighting in the 19th century. It is a requirement that each fighter must start each round with their front foot on their scratch line. This is referred to as “Toe the Line”, and it is an instruction given to the fighters at the beginning of each round, followed by "Knuckle Up" which signals the beginning of the round.{{cite web|url=https://mymmanews.com/everything-bare-knuckle-fighting-championship/ |title=Everything you need to know about Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship |date=30 May 2018 |publisher=MyMMANews.com |access-date=2019-04-16}}

=Bare Knuckle Thai=

Bare Knuckle Thai rules are similar to Muay Thai, with the notable exception that competitors fight without gloves. Matches consist of five rounds, with each round lasting two minutes. The rules permit the use of kicks, punches, elbows, and knees, but explicitly prohibit trips and sweeps. Fighters must also remain active in a clinch, which lasts for three seconds. In the event of a draw, a sixth extension round will be fought to determine a winner.{{cite web|url=https://beyondkick.com/news/bkfc-thailand-5-buakaw-vs-saenchai-everything-you-need-to-know/|title=BKFC Thailand 5: Buakaw vs. Saenchai – Everything You Need to Know|website=Beyond Kick|date=2023-11-03|access-date=2023-11-07}}{{cite web|url=https://asianmma.com/buakaw-saenchai-set-for-muay-thai-with-bare-knuckle-twist/|title=Buakaw, Saenchai set for Muay Thai with bare knuckle twist|website=Asian MMA|date=2023-10-11|access-date=2023-11-07}} BKFC Thailand held the first special rules Bare Knuckle Thai bout, featuring Muay Thai legends Buakaw Banchamek and Saenchai, at BKFC Thailand 5: Legends of Siam on November 4, 2023.

Death of Justin Thornton

The BKFC was involved in controversy after the death of boxer Justin Thornton on August 20, 2021, at BKFC 20.{{Cite web |date=2021-10-04 |title=Justin Thornton dies after BKFC 20 knockout loss to Dillon Cleckler in August |url=https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2021/10/justin-thornton-dies-bkfc-20-knockout-loss-dillon-cleckler-bareknuckle-mma-death |access-date=2022-06-23 |website=MMA Junkie |language=en-US}} Justin Thornton died as a result of spinal injury suffered during his BKFC debut.{{Cite web |last=Davies |first=Harry |date=2021-10-05 |title=Bare-knuckle fighter dies weeks after becoming paralysed following knockout loss |url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/other-sports/mma/bare-knuckle-dighter-dies-bkfc-25139469 |access-date=2022-08-30 |website=mirror |language=en}} Thornton had been on a five-fight losing streak ahead of the fight.

The matchmaking and regulations were criticized by UFC president Dana White, who said “...is anybody shocked? I mean, in bare-knuckle fighting? I’m not a big fan. ...We’ve been putting on fights for 25 years. I’ve done over 7,000 fights with no serious injuries in the UFC. That if they weren’t in the UFC, they probably would’ve fought and they probably would’ve died. So we shouldn’t even be talked about in the same sentence as bare-knuckle boxing."{{Cite web |last=Davies |first=Harry |date=2021-10-06 |title=Dana White asks "is anybody shocked?" after tragic death of bare-knuckle fighter |url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/other-sports/mma/dana-white-bare-knuckle-fighter-25149330 |access-date=2022-08-30 |website=mirror |language=en}}
