Harry Gigliotti bringing 'vigilante chaos' to Kai Stewart in BKFC 92 title fight

Bare Knuckle FC title challenger Harry Gigliotti, a Massachusetts native, will headline BKFC 92 at Boston's Fenway Park.

Growing up in Newburyport, Massachusetts, Harry Gigliotti attended numerous Boston Red Sox baseball games. Fast forward to 2026, and the talented Bare Knuckle FC star will look to secure a title in the middle of the diamond.

Gigliotti will challenge BKFC featherweight champion Kai Stewart in the BKFC 92 main event this Saturday at Fenway Park in Boston. The featherweight title matchup headlines a stacked card at BKFC's first event at a baseball stadium.

Stewart isn't lacking confidence ahead of BKFC 92. The reigning champion plans to create chaos ahead of fight night, which includes creating animosity with Gigliotti and the Boston fanbase expected to attend the title bout.

Surprisingly, Gigliotti's promotional strategy has been to embrace Stewart's ‘villain' role and to use it against him.

Harry Gigliotti set to bring ‘destruction and chaos' to Fenway Park

During a recent interview on The Fight Guys podcast, Gigliotti shared a surprising stance on Stewart's pre-fight antics.

“He likes the villain arc, and that's okay! I can go that route sometimes too. But I'm more humble; I like to play the role of the superhero. I'll show the villain on fight night; either way, I'm more of a vigilante in there, destructive and chaotic,†Gigliotti said.

“Fighting is chaos! And I plan on showing a little bit of chaos that night. Getting in his head, and as I'm hitting him, talking my s—. I want to make him think this fight was a bad idea. We'll have fun, probably share a beer afterwards, but I'm planning on taking that title and making him think he didn't belong in there with me to begin with.

“Off with his head. The hitman is taking the throne!â€

Gigliotti earned the featherweight title shot after a successful BKFC debut earlier this year. The 14-fight professional boxing vet aims to show Stewart a new level of chaos when they clash in the ring this weekend.

Nina Drama denies being 'forced' to wear hijab for Movsar Evloev interview
Nina-Marie Daniele says she wore a hijab for her interview with
Movsar
Evloev out of respect.

Evloev is scheduled to challenge Alexander
Volkanovski for the
Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight title at
UFC 333 on Oct. 24 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. Daniele's
decision to wear a hijab while interviewing the Muslim fighter drew
criticism online, prompting her response.

Nina-Marie Daniele explains why she wore a hijab for Movsar
Evloev interview ahead of UFC 333

During the interview, Evloev said his religious beliefs would
prevent him from looking at her if she were dressed less modestly.
Daniele defended her choice, explaining that she wanted to make him
comfortable. She also said participation in her interviews is
voluntary and that no one forced her to wear the hijab.

“At the end of the day it's always about respect,†Daniele wrote on
X. “I have so much respect for all my Muslim friends. I love
learning about cultures and I'm so grateful for the UFC for giving
me the opportunity to travel the world. Some people are offended
and that's fine, this came from a place of respect and wanting to
be able to make Movsar
Evloev comfortable in our interview. My interviews are not
‘mandatory' and never were, the fighters that show up show up
because they want to and I was in no way shape or form ‘forced' to
do anything. Thank you to Movsar and his team for giving me the
opportunity to show the fans a different side of him! I'm so happy
people are enjoying the interview!â€

Arman Tsarukyan wrestles Anthony Pettis in RAF 15 main event

Anthony Pettis is out of his scheduled RAF debut against Donald Cerrone and is instead hunting bigger game.

On Tuesday, Real American Freestyle announced that Pettis will challenge Arman Tsarukyan for his RAF middleweight crossover title in the main event of RAF 15, which takes place on Nov. 28 at NOW Arena in Chicago.

RAF 15 was originally set to be headlined by Henry Cejudo vs. Song Yadong. That bout now serves as the co-main event.

MMA Fighting confirmed that Tsarukyan is still wrestling Neiman Gracie at RAF Abu Dhabi on Nov. 14 in a non-title bout. Meanwhile, Donald Cerrone is now out of RAF 15 altogether.

Tsarukyan won the vacant RAF crossover middleweight title this past weekend with a tech fall over Dillon Danis at RAF 14 in Las Vegas.

Pettis, meanwhile, has never competed in freestyle wrestling before, and last competed in any combat sport in 2024, losing a unanimous decision to Chris Avila in a boxing match.

Mike Heck contributed to this report.

Morning Report | Paddy Pimblett: Movsar Evloev ‘quit’ in loss to Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 333

Morning Report | Paddy Pimblett: Movsar Evloev ‘quit’ in loss to Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 333

Movsar Evloev, 20-0 no longer. But apparently, his UFC 333 loss to Alexander Volkanovski is deeper than that.

The top featherweight contender updated his Instagram bio following his disappointing knockout defeat at the hands of Volkanovski, but not to 20-1.

Instead, Evloev is now “0-1,” signaling a new beginning, perhaps? At 32, Evloev is not a young man in the 145-pound division, but perhaps there’s still room for him to grow and even if he can’t beat Volkanovski, can he hang around long enough for Volkanovski to exit and then step into his place as a future champion?

What do you all think of Evloev’s profile tweak?
