‘Iranian Hulk’ to fight in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship on ‘USA vs Iran: World War III’ card next year
- Sajad Gharibi, an Iranian wrestler-turned-bodybuilder, is set to fight on Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship’s ‘USA vs Iran’ card
- Promotion’s boss says ‘Iranian Hulk’ is ‘literally our biggest signing’
Man-mountain and Instagram sensation the “Iranian Hulk” is set for his combat sports debut in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) next year.
The promotion announced the news after its Saturday event, and while there is no official date or opponent, BKFC confirmed it will happen and will be marketed under a seriously provocative banner.
“He's literally our biggest signing we've ever had,” BKFC boss David Feldman told MMA Fighting post-event. “This guy is going to make his BKFC debut in early 2020. We're going to do a show titled 'USA vs Iran: World War III'.
“He's going to make a home here and we expect really, really big things from the 'Iranian Hulk',” Feldman added.
The 390-pound wrestler-turned-bodybuilder – real name Sajad Gharibi – had been scheduled to debut in an MMA superfight this year but the bout was cancelled.
