The magnitude of competing at KnuckleMania isn’t lost on Crystal Pittman.
The bigger the opportunity, the better for the Clovis, CA-born Tampa, FL fighter. It doesn’t get any bigger than KnuckleMania 4, which takes place April 27 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, LIVE worldwide on The BKFC App.
All eyes will be on BKFC’s annual must-see tentpole event as the world’s fastest growing combat sports promotion breaks historic new ground in California. Pittman is eager to stack her second straight/third overall victory in the Squared Circle against Claudia Zamora in front of BKFC’s biggest audience yet. More importantly, as a survivor of domestic violence, she wants to use her fast-growing platform to inspire others.
“Since I began competing, I’ve always wanted to give a voice to the voiceless. I’ve always wanted to use my fighting as a way to bring strength to survivors of domestic abuse, child abuse and even animal abuse,” Pittman says.
“I’ve always strived to give a voice to the voiceless. I want to show that survivors can make it through anything and shine just as much as anyone else.”
Pittman predicts that she’ll notch her second straight stoppage victory in Los Angeles. Regardless of the result, she’s just excited to showcase her improvements as a fighter – a constant theme of her blossoming career since signing with BKFC in 2021.
“You’re really going to see a different fighter,” she says. “We made so many improvements for my last fight and I didn’t even get to showcase everything we’ve been working on. Every day I’m more comfortable and every day I’m growing as a bare knuckle fighter.
“Not just a fighter – I’m becoming a really amazing bare knuckle fighter.”
