Chris Camozzi kicked off his bare-knuckle boxing career with a bang.
A veteran of 19 UFC fights, Camozzi made his Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship promotional debut on Saturday night at BKFC 31 — and it didn’t take long for him to make a thunderous statement over a fellow UFC veteran. Matched against Bubba McDaniel in a featured bout, Camozzi stormed forward and dropped McDaniel early with a hard counter right hand, forcing the referee to call an end to the bout just 37 seconds in.
Watch the replay below of Camozzi’s final sequence.

McDaniel (30-10 MMA) hasn’t fought in MMA since 2018 but left the sport on a four-fight win streak on the regional scene, all of which ended via knockout.
BKFC 31 took place Oct. 15, 2022 at the 1st Bank Center in Broomfield, Colorado.
