Main Event: Lorenzo “The Juggernaut” Hunt Reclaims Gold With Last‑Second KO
In a dramatic comeback that instantly enters BKFC history, Lorenzo Hunt knocked out Josh “D‑Day” Dyer at 1:59 of Round 1, reclaiming the BKFC Light Heavyweight Championship.

A comeback. A knockout. A championship reclaimed. This was vintage Juggernaut.
