Expert Predictions
🥊 James “Get Down” Brown
“This is one hell of a fight – I’ve already got it pre-ordered! Expect a five-round war, but I’m taking Trout by unanimous decision. His technical skills will be the difference maker.”
🦈 Zach “Shark Attack” Calmus
“Trout’s championship DNA gives him the edge. While Trinidad-Snake has shown incredible skills in his six BKFC fights, you don’t bet against a proven champion. Look for Trout to win a hard-fought battle, but it won’t come easy.”
💥 Ramiro Figueroa
“Trout’s fight IQ and experience are on another level. I don’t see anyone beating him right now. My prediction? Trout by knockout – his precision will be too much.”
👊 Michael “Papa G” Larrimore
“Trout’s cleaner technique will be the deciding factor. It might be competitive early, but by rounds 4 or 5, expect Trout to find his range and possibly get the stoppage.”
What’s at Stake
This historic Dubai event marks BKFC’s first foray into the Middle Eastern market, with Trout looking to cement his status as one of bare-knuckle’s elite. For Trinidad-Snake, it’s a chance to shock the world and claim championship gold against a combat sports legend.
