From David Volz
BYB Extreme Fighting series is back at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood with BYB 6 on Friday, July 16, at 7:30 p.m., for another exhilarating bareknuckle brawl in BYB’s patented mighty Trigon ring, the only one of its kind created by bareknuckle fighting legend from South Florida, DADA 5000. Tickets are now available at BYBTickets.com.
BYB 6 will be co-announced by DADA 5000 and Dave Ryan, play-by-play announcer and commentator from CBS. Joining them will be ringside commentators Mike Goldberg, former WWE, NFL and UFC commentator and announcer; Paulie Malignaggi, former World Boxing Champ; and Benny Ricardo, former NFL player and well-known sports commentator.
The exciting bout card includes the undefeated and top-ranked female Bareknuckle Fighter Christine “Knuckles” Stanley, fighting in the women’s lightweight division. Former American Gladiator Erin Toughill known as “Steel” will face off against Jozette Cotton in a Superweight battle. The men’s 185lb. tournament has reached the semifinal round with undefeated fighters JoMi “The Archangel” Escoboza facing off against Brazil’s Luis Melo, and 14-0 Rene “White Boy” Rodriguez battling 2-0 Matt Delanoit in the main event. The winners of the semi-final round will face off for the 185lb. belt at BYB 7 coming up in September 2021.
Unlike most fight series that have four or up to eight corners, the BYB Extreme Bareknuckle Fighting Series is set in a diamond shape triangular ring called the Trigon, which features three equal sides, 22′ in length, creating the smallest ring in combat sports and 180° of absolute mayhem, ensuring confrontation, so the fighters cannot hide from the action.
“BYB 6 includes incredible bareknuckle fighters, and we are excited by how this sport continues to increase in popularity worldwide. Being able to host BYB 6 at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood allows us bring our fights to South Florida audiences in a top-rated venue,” said Mike Vazquez, president of BYB Extreme Fighting.
Tickets for BYB 6 Tickets are now on sale through Ticketmaster with packages ranging from $25 – $250 and can also be purchased at BYBTickets.com. BYB 6 will broadcast live on YouTube at BYBExtreme.
