The main event is set for BFL 43, as the Battlefield Fight League featherweight champion Jeremy Kennedy returns to the cage for the first time in over a year to take on American Drew Brokenshire in a non-title affair.
BFL told MMASucka.com about the match-up earlier this week.
Kennedy (7-0) has been out of action since his BFL 34 match-up against Mario Pereira last January when he won the championship. Since making his professional debut in 2013, JBC has amassed an impressive 7-0 undefeated record, fighting in both Canada and Asia. The 23-year-old was forced to sit on the sidelines due to a couple of nagging injuries. However, 2016 seems to have kicked off with a bang, as he has gotten back to his grappling roots; winning a BJJ tournament.
Brokenshire (15-6) is a true veteran of the sport — beginning his pro career in 2007. The Tacoma, Washington native has been fairly active over his nine-year tenure. In his latest outing, “The Eternal Fire” tapped out Delane Lamere in the first round of SCL: Fight for Our Troops. Brokenshire’s biggest winning streak, was six-fights, that covered a two year span from 2012-2014.
BFL 43 goes down on May 7 from the Hard Rock Casino in Coquitlam, B.C. Also on the fight card is a title fight between Jamie Siraj and Nick Ghaeni in the evening’s co-main event.
