Johnny Bedford and Reggie Barnett are getting another crack at one another, and another chance to hold Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship gold.
The BKFC announced Friday that a rematch between Bedford and Barnett will headline BKFC 20 on Aug. 20 in Biloxi, Miss., with the winner claiming a vacant bantamweight title. Incumbent champion Dat Nguyen recently vacated the title when he and the BKFC were unable to come to terms on a new contract.
In the first meeting between Bedford and Barnett at BKFC 6 two years ago, Bedford defeated Barnett by unanimous decision. That win earned him a vacant title, which he later lost to Nguyen.
