Derek Brunson is the latest name from UFC yesteryear to join BKFC.
The promotion announced the signing Saturday, adding that Brunson (0-0) will make his bareknuckle debut at a BKFC Fight Night event Nov. 20 in Myrtle Beach, S.C., against an opponent to be named later.
Brunson, 42, has not competed in striking competition since a one-off under the PFL banner in November 2023. In that fight, Brunson defeated Ray Cooper III by unanimous decision. It was his first fight since departing the UFC.
