Uncrowned has BKFC KnuckleMania 5 live scores, round-by-round updates, start time, highlights, live stream and more for the Eddie Alvarez vs. Jeremy Stephens fight card Saturday night at The Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Alvarez faces Stephens in a battle of UFC veterans in the main event, while fellow UFC veteran Ben Rothwell fights for the BKFC heavyweight title in the co-headliner.
Alvarez is a former UFC and Bellator lightweight champion who is 1-1 in his first two appearances in bare-knuckle boxing. “The Underground King” won a thrilling split decision over three-time UFC title challenger Chad Mendes in his April 2023 debut before suffering a TKO loss to Mike Perry in December of that year. A Philadelphia product through and through, Alvarez returns home to fight in his hometown for the first time since a successful Bellator title defense against Roger Huerta in 2010.
Stephens is a perfect 2-0 in the bare-knuckle boxing ring since making his BKFC debut in late 2023 with a victory over fellow UFC veteran Jimmie Rivera. Stephens also scored a decision victory against Bobby Taylor last September. During his 14-year UFC career, Stephens fought in the sixth most fights in promotional history (34) and tied UFC legend Anderson Silva for the second most reversals in UFC history.
Rothwell challenges BKFC heavyweight titleholder Mick Terrill for the ultimate big boy title in the evening’s championship co-main event.
