The ten-bout fight card will be available on pay-per-view on all major cable and satellite providers, as well as on all streaming devices and FITE.tv, at a price of $39.99USD.

The former boxing champion, Paulie Malignaggi, will compete for the first time in over two years when he makes his debut at BKFC 6 this evening.

In his most recent effort, ‘The Magic Man’ suffered an eighth round knockout loss to Sam Eggington in a bout for the WBC international welterweight title.

Prior to his loss to Eggington, Malignaggi had put together a three-fight winning streak which included decision victories over Laszlo Fazekas, Antonio Moscatiello and Gabriel Bracero.

Meanwhile, Artem Lobov enters BKFC 6 on the heels of a unanimous decision victory over fellow UFC veteran Jason Knight in his promotional debut this past April.

The victory snapped a three-fight losing skid for ‘The Russian Hammer’, as Lobov had previously suffered decision setbacks to Cub Swanson, Andre Fili and Michael Johnson respectively.

As expected, the bad blood boiled over at yesterday’s BKFC 6 weigh ins when members of Team Paulie Malignaggi got into a scuffle with Artem Lobov (watch that here).

Tonight’s event features a slew of former UFC veterans including Chris Leben, Joey Beltran, Johnny Bedford, Julian Lane and Jim Alers.
