Kendall Grove signs exclusive deal with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, to debut on Aug. 25

Kendall Grove has almost done it all in combat sports, but his next endeavor is a new one even for him.

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship announced Monday that the UFC and Bellator veteran has signed an exclusive contract to compete in the BKFC ring and he will make his debut at the promotion’s second event, BKFC 2: A New Era, which will take place at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Miss., on Aug. 25.

Grove last fought in January at Bellator 193, where he dropped a split decision to A.J. Matthews. It was Grove’s third consecutive loss.

The event will stream live on pay-per-view via www.bareknuckle.tv.
