The promotion recently announced that Sharif Rahman has signed a
multi-fight agreement, bringing the undefeated prospect into the
bare-knuckle ranks while still in his prime.
Sharif Rahman joins BKB after building an undefeated 9-0 boxing
record
Rahman, 30, is the son of former two-time heavyweight champion
Hasim Rahman and the brother of professional boxer Hasim Rahman Jr.
His father famously stopped Lennox Lewis in 2001 to capture the
heavyweight championship.
Known as “C3,†Rahman has compiled an unblemished 9-0 professional
boxing record with four knockouts. The Baltimore native, who now
resides in Las Vegas, will attempt to carry that unbeaten record
into bare-knuckle competition.
“I’ve carried this family name my whole career and I’ve never
lost,†Rahman said via press release. “Bare-knuckle is a new test,
no gloves, no excuses, just pure skill and heart and I’m bringing
my undefeated record to BKB to prove I belong among the best in the
trigon.â€
Rahman follows several established boxers who have recently made
the move to BKB, including Victor Ortiz, JoJo Diaz, Alfredo Angulo
and Lee Selby.
His promotional debut and opponent will be announced at a later
date.
Islam
Makhachev and Ian Garry
have vastly different views on how much authority women should
have.
Garry recently faced significant backlash for speaking about his
feminine side in an interview. “The Future†admitted to crying
while watching Disney movies and feeling more masculine by staying
in touch with his feminine side. Garry also said that the world
would be a better place with women running it and men simply
listening to them.
Islam Makhachev has hilarious reaction to UFC legend needing
wife's approval to go to Dagestan
Makhachev, although in jest, expressed opposite views on women
having authority. The
Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight champion invited
Demetrious
Johnson to Dagestan during a recent interview. When “Mighty
Mouse†expressed safety concerns, Makhachev assured him that
Dagestan is one of the safest places in the world.
Johnson then said that he would have to consult his wife on the
matter. Makhachev laughed in disbelief about the UFC Hall of Famer
having to take his wife's permission. Makhachev said that Johnson,
being one of the best fighters in history, merely has to inform his
wife, not take her permission.
“Talk to wife? Talk to wife?†Makhachev said. “You're the best
fighter in the world. You have to tell her. But not ask.â€
Makhachev (28-1) puts his welterweight title on the line against
Garry (17-1) in the main event of UFC
330 on Aug. 15 at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.

says if women ruled the world everything would be better
“If the world was run by women, we'd all live in a better world. If
we just listened to them and let them takeover, it would be an
easier worldâ€

The upcoming
Ultimate Fighting Championship event has undergone a late
change, with Eduardo
Henrique stepping in to replace Jose Ochoa
at UFC
330.
Ochoa was reportedly forced out due to an injury, leaving Charles
Johnson without an opponent days before their bout at Xfinity
Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. However, the promotion quickly found
a replacement in Henrique, who will now make his UFC debut against
Johnson.

Jose Ochoa injury
Henrique (15-2) will return to action after nearly nine months
away. The former
Legacy Fighting Alliance flyweight champion last competed in
September 2025, earning a decision over An Tuan Ho
on
Dana White's Contender Series. However, the victory wasn't
enough for a UFC contract.
The fighter also appeared on Season 33 of “The Ultimate Fighterâ€
last year. Now, Henrique has the chance to make his UFC debut as a
late replacement in UFC 330.
Johnson (19-9) lost to Asu
Almabayev in his last Octagon appearance in June. His upcoming
bout will be his fourth UFC fight of 2026, making him the
promotion’s most active fighter this year. He is currently
averaging one bout every 98 days.
Despite the unexpected shakeup, UFC 330 remains a 12-fight card
capped off by two title fights.
