BKFC 84 returns to one of its Southern California home bases, this time bringing the action to Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California.
BKFC 84 Main Event
The BKFC 84 main event features Josh Dyer making the first defense of his BKFC Light Heavyweight Championship as he seeks to avenge the lone loss of his BKFC career against former two-division champion Lorenzo Hunt.
Hunt—one of the promotion’s most accomplished and recognizable veterans—steps back into the squared circle for BKFC 84 following an 18-month suspension resulting from a positive test for banned substances. He also aims to rebound from his most recent outing at KnuckleMania IV in April 2024, where he suffered an arm break in a Heavyweight title challenge against Mick Terrill.
BKFC 84 Co-Main Event
The co-main event of BKFC 84 showcases middleweight Drew Stuve, making his US debut after racking up three consecutive BKFC victories in Canada. Stuve looks to keep that momentum rolling as he meets BKFC veteran Zeb Vincent.
Vincent (3–2 in BKFC competition) steps in on short notice after his original opponent, Steven Sainsbury, withdrew due to injury, and will be seeking his first win of 2025.
In the featured fight, newly signed Women’s Featherweight Aspen Ladd makes her promotional debut after previous runs in both the UFC and PFL. She faces hard-hitting South Dakotan Shyanna Bintliff, who will look to play spoiler to Ladd’s home-state debut in California.
