Kris Moutinho is joining Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) after departing the UFC. He will debut at a BKFC Fight Night event on August 21 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, opposing Michael Hernandez. Moutinho's exit from UFC followed a knockout loss and a unanimous decision defeat, marking his second unsuccessful stint in the promotion. Previously, he gained recognition for his durability during a short-notice fight against Sean O'Malley. Moutinho's pro MMA record stands at 15-8, bolstered recently by a victory in Portugal over Zebenzui Ruiz.
