BKFC World Women’s Strawweight Champion Britain Hart and Taylor “Killa Bee” Starling collide Saturday in one of the most highly anticipated female fights in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship history. Hart is looking to add to her historic BKFC resume with a third successful title defense, and Starling is ready to violently transition from contender to Champion. Before Saturday’s historic Main Event at BKFC 63 in Sturgis, SD, LIVE on The BKFC App, we asked some of BKFC’s most knowledgeable fighters for their fight night predictions.
James “Get Down” Brown: I'm leaning towards Hart. I think she gets the job done, Unanimous Decision. Should be a treat for the fans. This is going to be an action-packed match!
Zach "Shark Attack" Calmus: I think Hart will win and will remain Champion, assuming she fights her fight and doesn’t get drawn into a trap or slugfest. Starling is more than capable of winning; it’s any woman’s fight when it comes down to the talent level of both women, but I’m riding with the champ on this one .
Ramiro Figueroa: Both Britain Hart and Taylor Sterling bring great energy to the Squared Circle. Taylor brings great energy from the beginning – from weigh-ins to fight day. But I do believe she starts well but then starts to throw a little wild, and I believe with Britain's boxing ability, she will catch her coming in and seal the deal with the correct punch. As long as she sticks to the game plan, I believe Britain Hart will defend and keep her title. Both fighters are great, but I just believe Britain Hart has the edge.
"Royal" Ryan Reber: It’s a very even matchup; both girls bang. I honestly can’t pick a winner.
Wanya "The Rated R Superstar" Reid: I think Britain Hart is a true champion and she’s shown it numerous times. She has grit and the skills to get the job done. But “Killa Bee” is a tough one too. She showed she can fight and don’t mind getting bloody. I’m going with Taylor Starling on this one.
JR "The Lion" Ridge: My prediction for this banger is Taylor Starling with the upset Unanimous Decision going all five rounds. I think we’re going to see a new and improved “Killa Bee.”
Gabrielle “Jersey’s Warrior Princess” Roman: I think Taylor is going to be smart and not rush the champ, but Brit might outwork her technically. I have Brit for the win.
“King” Kai Stewart: Taylor Starling for the win! She seemed in it to win it when we were talking in Florida! Can’t wait to watch it live!
Crystal "The Lovely" Van Wyk: My prediction is Britain beats Taylor via Unanimous Decision. Britain is faster and will outwork Taylor. Britain is the champ for a reason; she’s fought the best and Taylor is definitely not her toughest opponent.
Ruben "Bad Boy" Warr: I love both fighters. But I’m a huge fan of Taylor and I would love to see her on top. Her style is aggressive and I’m a fan.
