But it was a pair of back-to-back undercard fights that stole the show.

In the third bout of the night, Elijah Harris laid waste to Brandon Honsvick in 7 seconds.

Then, Dalvin Blair one-upped him by flattening Justin Walters three seconds quicker in fight number four.

Both men were making their company debuts, and although they both got the job done quickly, they went about it in different ways.

Harris was fast off the scratch, forcing his opponent onto his heels with hard straight punches, before landing a perfectly placed 1-2 that left Honsvick flat on his back.

Blair, on the other hand, didn't need to be nearly as aggressive as it was his adversary who came flying out the gates.

As he did, Blair slipped a wild right hand while connecting with an overhand of his own for the faceplant finish.

Remarkably, these were only the 3rd and 4th quickest stoppages the bare-knuckle boxing promotion has ever seen.

BKFC has seen remarkable growth over the last 12 months.

Last year, former dual-weight UFC champion Conor McGregor became part-owner of the company while they also signed a lucrative deal to have their product broadcast on DAZN.

McGregor still has two fights remaining on his UFC deal but hasn't competed since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier in July 2021.

The Irishman was supposed to make a comeback against Michael Chandler last June.

However, he pulled out of the fight with a broken toe and he hasn't been re-booked since.
