Daytona Beach, FL (April 2, 2026) – Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) has finalized the fight card for its highly anticipated inaugural Blood4Blood event. Scheduled for Wednesday, May 6, at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, FL, this event promises a blend of intense combat sports and heavy music.
The Blood4Blood event at the Ocean Center serves as a thrilling precursor to the “Welcome To Rockville” festival, Florida’s premier rock, metal, and punk gathering. “Welcome To Rockville” celebrates its 15th anniversary from May 7-10 at the iconic Daytona International Speedway.
A major addition to the card sees two-time BKFC Women’s World Title Challenger Taylor Starling (5-4), hailing from Rock Hill, SC, make her anticipated return to the squared circle. She will face off against the formidable bare-knuckle warrior Marisol Ruelas from Woodridge, IL. Starling, a fan favorite on the BKFC roster, is coming off a decisive win against Shelby Cannon in August 2025 at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Ruelas enters this contest after a fiercely fought split-decision loss to Brooke Evans at BKFC Fight Night Hammond in October 2025.
Headlining the Blood4Blood event, as previously announced, is a compelling clash between Slaughter to Prevail frontman Alex Terrible (1-1 in bare-knuckle fighting) and PBR star Cameron ‘The Bull’ Delano (1-0). In addition to his main event bout, Alex Terrible will also perform with his acclaimed heavy metal band.
The card further features ‘Brutal’ Jake Bostwick (4-2-1) of Coconut Creek, FL, rekindling his rivalry with Roderick ‘Ice Water’ Stewart (2-3) of Abilene, TX. In the heavyweight division, MMA standout Sergey ‘Kratos’ Kalinin (1-0) from Ekaterinburg, Russia, is set to make his BKFC debut against Brock ‘Alpha Dawg’ Walker (2-2) of Big Stone, Virginia.
Beyond the fights, Blood4Blood offers a unique fusion of combat sports and music, with live performances from heavy music legends Black Label Society, Crowbar, and Malevolence. This immersive experience is designed to captivate fans of both disciplines.
The Ocean Center is located at 101 N. Atlantic Ave., Daytona Beach, FL 32118. Doors open at 6:00 p.m., with the event commencing at 7:00 p.m. local time.
