The evening is anchored by a high-profile showdown between Russian former UFC athlete Viacheslav Borshchev and inaugural BKFC champion Elvin "El Bandido" Brito. The card also highlights the return of Dominican standout Javier Fortuna, the former two-time WBA world champion, who faces Colombian fighter Alejandro "El Abejon" Munera. Known for his southpaw precision, Fortuna headlines a roster designed to emphasize technical striking without the protection of gloves.

Beyond the marquee names, the event showcases international talent, including the undefeated Ossetian welterweight David Mistulov against American Nathan LaRocco, and a clash between Russian MMA champion Alan Salamov and American Markus "Murk" Suarez. These ten matchups, ranging from 57 kg to heavyweight divisions, reflect the IBA's broader strategy to expand its influence in combat sports under president Umar Kremlev. The tournament signals a significant shift in the organization’s operational reach, moving from its traditional amateur-focused governance into the professional bare-knuckle circuit.
