Zebulin Vincent vs. Doug Coltrane at middleweight will serve as the co-main event later tonight at BKFC Kansas City, at Memorial Hall Kansas.
While Vincent (2-1) is relatively new to bare-knuckle boxing, he has nine fights in MMA across the amateur and professional ranks. 'CWB' is currently on a two-fight win streak in the promotion and would be hoping to break into the rankings with a win this time around.
While Coltrane (3-1) lost his last fight, he is the No.2 ranked middleweight contender at BKFC. A win against Vincent is a non-negotiable for the 38-year-old because the alternative would most definitely see him go down significantly in the rankings.
Surely enough, the odds makers are backing the ranked fighter. Per the BKFC website, Coltrane is a -194 favorite over Vincent (+144 underdog) for the matchup.
