Arlovski, 47, Stops Rothwell by Doctor’s TKO to Claim BKFC Heavyweight Title at KnuckleMania 6

Afterward he delivered a blunt message of hope as a self-described three-time cancer survivor.

Overview

  • Andrei Arlovski won by TKO via doctor’s stoppage at 1:14 of Round 3 after severe cuts left Ben Rothwell unable to continue.
  • Rothwell entered as the defending champion at 4-0 in BKFC, and Arlovski improved to 3-0 against him across three promotions.
  • In the co-main event, Lorenzo Hunt knocked out David Mundell in Round 4 of a non-title champ vs. champ bout.
  • BKFC distributed the event free on DAZN and YouTube and circulated a reported attendance of 18,217 for Philadelphia, a promoter-provided figure.
  • The spectacle included a weigh-in incident where John Garbarino fell off the stage during a cannoli stunt and a fan brawl in the crowd that drew a wry social media response from BKFC co-owner Conor McGregor.
