"He turned white as a ghost” - BKFC founder David Feldman opens up on finding the man who left his mother paralyzed

David Feldman, founder of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, one of the fastest growing combat sports promotions globally, has opened up on finding the man who left his mother paralyzed from the neck down.

The BKFC owner recently shared a raw interview with leading combat sports journalist Ariel Helwani, who asked Feldman about the legitimacy of the story after coming across it while doing research for their interview.

The business man-turned-promoter was immensely open about the truly unbelievable and heartbreaking series of events that was thrust upon him as an eight-year-old and his mother by way of her ex-partner:

"She got thrown out of a car, run over. The guy took her to a cemetery, banged her head against a cemetery stone. Put her back in the car and dropped her at our house with footprints on her chest. My mom could never walk again."

He continued:

"I looked for the guy, and I found him. I did, I clipped his achilles [tendon] and I said, 'You'll never walk again, m-fer.' Because when I told him who I was, he turned white as a ghost, and I knew it was him... I'm glad I didn't do anything more than that because I would have been in jail."

Feldman further explained how he found the man after meeting a girl at a bar he owned:

"I was going through the end of my first marriage. I was like, 'Man, this girl's cute.' I kept seeing her, it was a bar I owned and she kept coming in... I found out her last name but didn't say anything then. It was a couple more times, and then I was like, 'Are you related to this guy?'"

David Feldman shares Dana White's immediate reaction to BKFC

BKFC is growing from strength to strength, and with Conor McGregor having become a part-owner of the promotion last year, it will likely only continue doing so.

During David Feldman's recent interview with Helwani, he shared UFC CEO Dana White's initial reaction to the promotion, saying:

"I was at the Revel Casino in Atlantic City a long time ago... I just tapped him on the shoulder, and I was like, 'Yo, I want to talk to you about this bare-knuckle thing I'm doing. He goes, 'Yeah, I heard of it. Get out of here, you'll never get it right. You'll never get it sanctioned.' And I was like, 'Isn't that what they said to you?'"
