“We’re very excited to partner with the Legendary Sturgis Buffalo Chip to bring BKFC to this tremendous weekend in Sturgis, South Dakota,” said David Feldman, Founder and President of BKFC. “Britain Hart and Taylor Starling are two of the toughest and most talented women in international combat sports, and this is just the first announcement of a sensational, action-packed card we’re putting together for Saturday, August 3.”

“For many in Sturgis, this will be their first time seeing a BKFC event, and they should be prepared to have their minds blown from this cutting-edge sport, which is rapidly growing in popularity all over the world.”

“Three iconic brands have partnered to deliver the ultimate combat sports spectacle at the legendary Sturgis Buffalo Chip. This event promises to be nothing short of incredible, providing the unforgettable experience fans have come to expect from Buffalo Chip,” said Tim Jensen, Co-Owner of Grunt Style. 

Said Britain Hart about making the third defense of her world title, “I’m super excited to finally be back in the ring and doing it in a big way as the main event at Sturgis on August 3. I will be fighting the Bee, because she ain’t no Killer. We’ve been talking about this fight for at least three years. It’s personal and business to me, which makes me the most dangerous threat she’s ever faced. Taylor Starling, it’s time for you to go!”

Stated Taylor Starling, “Both of our careers have led us to this moment, we are two of the best BKFC has to offer, and I’m looking forward to sharing the ring with Britain. But unfortunately for her, the belt is going home with me, The Killa B, and I’m going to sting that ass.”

A longtime veteran of BKFC, dating back to August 25, 2018, the promotions’ second event, Britain Hart has displayed a warrior-like spirit in every fight. This has earned her a wealth of popularity across the country with huge crowds supporting her from coast-to-coast. Triumphant against Charisa Sigala at BKFC-29 on September 10, 2022, the 34-year-old Bedford, VA native was rewarded with the inaugural BKFC Strawweight Women’s World Title. Her two dominant defenses have come against Jenny Savage (BKFC-39) and Melanie Shah (BKFC-51). Currently riding a four-bout winning streak, she also holds exciting victories over combat sport stars Paige VanZant, Pearl Gonzalez and Bec Rawlings.
