UFC veterans Artem Lobov and Jason Knight themselves had an intense – but still respectful – showdown on Friday before their showdown with Bare Knuckle FC 5.

Saturday night, Lobov and Knight meet in the main event of the 145 pounds Bare Knuckle FC 5, which takes place at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi. This is the beginning of boxing without fists for the two fighters, who recently signed with the promotion after their release from the UFC.

The card also contains another pair of notable elders from UFC, Chris Leben and Chase Sherman. Leben meets Justin Baseman in a 205-pound fight, while Sherman faces Sam Shewmaker at the heavyweight.
