Taylor Starling vs Marisol Ruelas added to inaugural Blood4Blood event

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) has finalized the fight card for its inaugural 'Blood4Blood' event, scheduled for Wednesday, May 6, at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Florida. This event will serve as a prelude to the 'Welcome To Rockville' festival, celebrating its 15th anniversary from May 7-10 at the Daytona International Speedway.

A highly anticipated matchup features two-time BKFC Women’s World Title Challenger Taylor Starling (5-4, Rock Hill, SC) making her return to the squared circle against the popular bare-knuckle warrior Marisol Ruelas (Woodridge, IL). Starling, a prominent figure on the BKFC roster, enters this bout following a decisive victory over Shelby Cannon in August 2025. Ruelas, known for her intense performances, is looking to bounce back after a closely contested split-decision against Brooke Evans in October 2025.

Headlining the 'Blood4Blood' event is a middleweight showdown between Slaughter to Prevail frontman Alex Terrible (1-1) and PBR star Cameron ‘The Bull’ Delano (1-0). Alex Terrible will also treat fans to a live performance with his internationally acclaimed heavy metal band.

The card also includes other compelling matchups: ‘Brutal’ Jake Bostwick (4-2-1, Coconut Creek, FL) will face his rival Roderick ‘Ice Water’ Stewart (2-3, Abilene, TX), and MMA standout Sergey ‘Kratos’ Kalinin (1-0, Ekaterinburg, Russia) is set to debut in BKFC’s heavyweight division against Brock ‘Alpha Dawg’ Walker (2-2, Big Stone, Virginia).

Beyond the intense combat, 'Blood4Blood' promises an immersive experience by integrating performances from heavy music legends Black Label Society, Crowbar, and Malevolence.

The event will take place at the Ocean Center, 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. Tickets are available for purchase, and the event will be broadcast internationally.
