When Isaac Vallie-Flagg walloped his fellow UFC veteran \u2014 and former roommate<\/a> \u2014 Melvin Guillard to a stoppage win at BKFC<\/a> 7 in August, he improved to 3-0 as a bare knuckle fighter.<\/p>\n

To long-time fans of MMA or boxing, that record might not seem like much, but in a sport as new as North American bare knuckle fighting, it\u2019s about as impressive as it gets. In the brief period that bare knuckle fighting has been legal on this side of the world, very few people have had as much success as Vallie-Flagg.<\/p>\n

And he\u2019s keen to keep the momentum going.<\/p>\n

Vallie-Flagg\u2019s initial hope was to fight at last weekend\u2019s BKFC 9 card in Biloxi, Mississippi. Unfortunately, as anybody who watched the card surely noticed, things didn\u2019t work out the way he planned.<\/p>\n

Although he\u2019s currently ready to fight, BKFC has told him he\u2019ll likely have to wait until February for his next bout.<\/p>\n

He\u2019d certainly like to fight more often \u2014 even if it meant reverting back to MMA \u2014 but he\u2019s committed himself to bare knuckle fighting and also feels some loyalty to BKFC.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey want me to fight in February, so that\u2019s what I\u2019m shooting for,\u201d Vallie-Flagg told BJPENN.com on Tuesday. \u201cI could take an MMA fight [in the meantime], but my main focus has been on boxing. I\u2019ve done a bit of ground work, but my main focus lately has been on my boxing, and I\u2019d like to stick with that as much as I can.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m enjoying the ride with the bare knuckle stuff,\u201d he added. \u201cBKFC is getting a lot of good exposure, and [BKFC President] David [Feldman] is putting on a lot of good cards. I also believe in loyalty \u2014 I\u2019d like to stay as loyal as I can to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

At present, it\u2019s not clear who Vallie-Flagg will fight in his February return to the BKFC ring. A fight with fellow UFC veteran Mac Danzig was briefly on the table, but that possibility has since fizzled out, which means he\u2019s once again hunting for a willing dance partner.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t sound like he signed with the organization,\u201d Vallie-Flagg said of the Danzig matchup.<\/p>\n

While it doesn\u2019t look like Danzig will join the BKFC family, the rising bare knuckle promotion has signed a host of notable free agents lately, such as Gabriel Gonzaga and Hector Lombard. Unfortunately, very few of the promotion\u2019s recent signings are Vallie-Flagg\u2019s size.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not that the promotion is averse to the lower weight classes, either. There\u2019s been plenty of action in its 135-pound lightweight division, which is currently ruled by former UFC fighter Johnny Bedford.<\/p>\n

Vallie-Flagg is hoping the promotion will start signing new 155-pound and 165-pound fighters in the near future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re signing some bigger guys like Lombard,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd why not sign Lombard? He\u2019s a hell of a competitor. He\u2019s a power puncher. He\u2019d be fun to watch against anybody.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on at \u201955 and \u201965,\u201d Vallie-Flagg added. \u201cThat\u2019s the average male person in this country. There\u2019s a lot of talented guys that they could be signing \u2014 boxers, MMA fighters, whoever. There\u2019s a lot of guys looking for fights.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Vallie-Flagg is hopeful BKFC will start signing more fighters his size, he does have some interesting options among the fighters currently on the promotion\u2019s roster, such as UFC veterans Jason Knight, Artem Lobov, and Jim Alers. All three men are all a bit smaller than he is, but he\u2019d love the opportunity to fight any of the above.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve offered to fight Alers, I\u2019ve offered to fight Knight, I\u2019ve offered to fight Artem\u2026 I\u2019ll fight anybody,\u201d he said. \u201cAlers fights at \u201955, and I\u2019d love to fight the dude. No disrespect I just like to fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cJulian Lane wanted to fight me,\u201d Vallie-Flagg continued. \u201cI hate to call out everybody I can, but I\u2019d fight anybody, and Julian Lane would be a fun one. I would let Julian bang, bro.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just that Vallie-Flagg wants to share the ring with this kind of big-name opposition. He also feels he\u2019s earned the chance. With an impressive 3-0 bare knuckle record, and a big win over Guillard in the rear-view, it\u2019s time for another step up.<\/p>\n

\u201cMelvin [Guillard] is one of the more experienced fighters and at a point was top-15 or top-10 guy in the UFC,\u201d he added. \u201cHe\u2019s a good fighter. So after getting through that test I kind of feel like I\u2019m ready for anybody.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince I\u2019ve been out of the UFC, the only loss I\u2019ve had is an illegal knee that somebody was playing a BS game with, but all my wins have been stoppages since I got out of the UFC \u2014 including the bare knuckle stuff,\u201d he added. \u201cI don\u2019t know why you wouldn\u2019t want to push that.\u201d<\/p>\n

At this stage, Isaac Vallie-Flagg is simply eager to get back into the BKFC ring and continue to build on his impressive run in this fresh and brutal sport. He\u2019s confident that if he\u2019s given the big opportunities he desires, he\u2019ll produce big wins \u2014 even if he occasionally finds himself outmatched on a technical level.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love fighting for BKFC, it\u2019s a great place for a guy like me,\u201d he said. \u201cIf I\u2019m not better than you, I\u2019m tougher than you, and BKFC has provided a great home for me to show that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t wait to get back in there as soon as possible.”<\/p>\n
