BKFC KnuckleMania 6 Live Results: Rothwell vs. Arlovski, Stream & Start Time

Uncrowned is delivering extensive real-time coverage, detailed round-by-round commentary, event timings, standout moments, live streaming information, and further details for BKFC KnuckleMania 6, showcasing the Ben Rothwell versus Andrei Arlovski main event on Saturday evening at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Ben Rothwell is making his initial defense of the BKFC heavyweight title against his enduring competitor, Andrei Arlovski, in the night’s scheduled five-round headlining bout.

Rothwell, boasting a 4-0 BKFC record and 39-14 in MMA, and Arlovski, with a 1-0 BKFC record and 34-24 in MMA, have previously engaged in two mixed martial arts contests, both of which Arlovski won via decision. Their initial encounter occurred in July 2008 at the inaugural Affliction MMA event, followed by a rematch in July 2019 under the UFC banner.

At 44 years old, Rothwell has found an ideal late-career niche within the intense environment of bare-knuckle boxing. The American powerhouse maintains a perfect 4-0 record with four knockouts in BKFC, highlighted by a swift 36-second victory over Mick Terrill in January 2025 to claim the promotion’s heavyweight championship.

Arlovski, aged 47, has experienced comparable triumph in his endeavors post-UFC, securing victories across various combat sports recently — including traditional boxing, bare-knuckle boxing, and the hybrid ruleset of Dirty Boxing. He notably stopped fellow MMA veteran Josh Copeland with a fourth-round barrage last June in his BKFC debut.

The BKFC KnuckleMania 5 preliminary card commences at 7 p.m. ET and can be viewed directly on Uncrowned.

The main card is slated for 8 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on DAZN.

    In the fourth round, after enduring punishment in the second and third, Hill is now connecting with his most impactful strikes of the contest! Is Hill once again running low on stamina?! He’s now on the canvas. He appears completely spent. The official asks if he wishes to continue. He does. The fight resumes. This is a brutal, draining exchange. Hill’s corner should consider stopping the fight.

    Round 4: 39-23 — Brady

    Brady sends Hill to the mat again! This time, it’s early in the round, leaving ample time to either secure a third knockdown or aim for a knockout. Yet, there’s still fight left in the veteran, and somehow Hill is down once more! The referee judges it a slip. Honestly, Hill might simply be completely exhausted by this point. Brady is delivering some powerful blows. Bear is finished.

    Round 3: 29-25 — Brady

    A complete turnaround in the second round as Brady floors Hill at its conclusion, sending him crashing against the ropes!

    Round 2: 19-18 — Brady

  • Alan Dawson

    Alan Dawson

    A commanding opening round from Hill, demonstrating a power difference so significant it might suggest renaming the sport to “Bear-Knuckle”; he was dominant from mid-range and elusive against his opponent’s strikes. A straightforward start for him.

    Round 1: 10-9 — Hill

    A heavyweight clash is up next, and as Patrick Brady makes his way to the ring, so does the acclaimed comedian Shane Gillis. Brady is set to face Bear Hill.

    Jade Masson-Wong secures the victory with unanimous scores of 50-45 across all three judges — mirroring Uncrowned’s unofficial tally, as Masson-Wong effectively turned it into an inside fight with short underhooks, a relentless tempo, and a clear difference in damage, leaving Crystal Pittman swollen, bruised, and defeated.

  • Alan Dawson

    Alan Dawson

    Masson-Wong demonstrates superior clinch work in the fourth, delivering uppercuts from extremely close range. She lands a right hand over the top, and Masson-Wong remains remarkably composed, still, as she maintains complete command of this contest. During breaks, Pittman turns her back, attempting to create more space.

    Round 4: 40-36 — Masson-Wong

    This bout bears a striking resemblance to the initial fight. Not solely in terms of the action, but also the resulting injuries, as Pittman’s cheek is so swollen it extends over her eye.

    Even Pittman’s corner understands it’s now or never, with multiple rounds already slipping away. She desperately requires improved defense.

    Round 3: 30-27 — Masson-Wong

  • Alan Dawson

    Alan Dawson

    Pittman’s face already displays the marks of a fight she seems to be losing, with damage visible beneath her eye. Masson-Wong appears to drop her moments into the second round, but the referee rules it a slip. Pittman moves to her corner for the break, exhibiting additional damage.

    Round 2: 20-18 — Masson-Wong

  • Alan Dawson

    Alan Dawson

    Masson-Wong’s initial strike is a resounding jab to the midsection. She also demonstrates excellent control of distance. Pittman excels in the clinch, landing hooks with both hands to the side of Masson-Wong’s face.

    Masson-Wong returns to her corner seemingly unfatigued.

    Round 1: 10-9 — Masson-Wong

    One of the matchups I’ve keenly anticipated, the second meeting between Jade Masson-Wong, who claimed victory in their first bout, and Crystal Pittman.

    They’ve been preparing in the dressing room for a considerable period, getting their hands wrapped and posing for the large screen whenever a camera focused on them.

    Will it be a repeat performance or an act of retribution?!

    It’s a majority decision, but with scores of 47-47, 48-46, and 49-45, it’s a narrow victory for Richman! He’s back in the win column!

    Richman contemplates a move to the 165-pound division but states that given the challenging bout with Elmore, he’ll consider his next steps at a later time.

    Elmore effectively bypasses Richman’s southpaw defense with potent left hooks aimed at his chin. Later, after a missed swing, Richman counters with a shot to the jaw.

    In the fourth, Richman began to double up his jab as Elmore visibly struggled with the pace and Richman’s deliberate strategy of draining his energy.

    However, it hasn’t been entirely one-sided, as Richman’s swollen face indicates. For the most part, though, “The Marine” has controlled the fight.

    It’s a shot to the body! A particularly brutal one!

    Richman’s body shots throughout the contest have clearly taken their toll on Elmore, whose pace has now significantly decreased.

  • Alan Dawson

    Alan Dawson

    Both Richman and Elmore adopt different stances in this fight compared to the previous one, as these athletes keep their hands elevated, employing both hand positioning and footwork as defensive tactics, even in the typically offense-heavy style that many bare-knuckle bouts evolve into.

    Richman strikes Elmore’s body, who responds with a throw to the head. Richman knocks Elmore off balance with a punch.

    After being defeated by Josh Dyer in the fourth round of a light heavyweight title fight, Mike Richman, known as ‘The Marine’ and a former MMA competitor, returns to the line, hoping to secure a victory against Joe Elmore in this middleweight contest.

    Elmore, also a former MMA fighter, holds a losing record in BKFC, so it would represent a significant setback if Richman fails to return to the win column tonight in Philadelphia.

    Bennett, an MMA professional with 80 career fights, utilized all that accumulated expertise to decisively finish his BKFC opponent — resulting in a knockout win for Bennett in the second round!

    Pat Sullivan and Felony Charles Bennett commenced their featherweight bout with an intense, high-paced start; Sullivan was simply swinging with his hands low and chin exposed and was caught with a counter! Bennett drops him! Sullivan recovers. He then slams Bennett! A fantastic, eventful round!
