BKFC 86 Results: 2026 Slate Begins Saturday with Exciting Night of Action!

BKFC 86 is here! Tonight, Mohegan Sun Arena is the setting for the first BKFC show of the year. After the countdown show at 5 pm ET/ 2 pm PT on YouTube, DAZN will carry the card gavel-to-gavel beginning one hour later at 6 pm ET/ 3 pm PT.

Last night’s ceremonial weigh-in window was successful and chaotic, meaning that tonight’s 11-fight schedule will take place as planned on the streaming platform. We’ve got some high stakes for the first BKFC show of 2026 in the main event of the evening tonight.

BKFC 86 Main Event: BKFC Welterweight Championship: Julian Lane vs. No. 4 Contender Dustin Pague

At the top of the bill on tonight’s show, the BKFC Welterweight Championship is at stake in the BKFC 86 main event of the evening. Incumbent BKFC Welterweight Champion Julian Lane (9-8 bare-knuckle) will be making his first defense of the title against challenger and No. 4 contender Dustin Pague (5-2 bare-knuckle.) All fights tonight will be an advertised maximum of five rounds at two minutes per round.

BKFC 86 Co-Main Event: Jamel Herring vs. Matt Guymon

Immediately beforehand, the BKFC 86 co-main event will see the crossover debut of a boxing legend. Jamel Herring will take the gloves off when he fights Matt Guymon (2-1 bare-knuckle.)

This will be Jamel Herring’s first fight in any discipline since April of 2024. That night, he lost by way of split decision to Jackson Jon England (19-3, 10 KOs) after 10 rounds.
