Palomino, who is 9-1, is coming off his first loss as a bare-knuckle boxer, having been outworked by Austin Trout at BKFC 57. He will be determined to rebound from the defeat and work his way back into the win column. Meanwhile, his opponent, Davis, is 7-2.

Moreover, Davis is on a two-fight win streak, and a victory over Palomino, a former BKFC two-division champion, would be tremendous for his work career, especially with MMA superstar Conor McGregor now at the helm promoting the organization. The two men compete over five, two-minute, rounds.
