He fought for us in Wembley four years ago, and he and he looked phenomenal. One of the best fights that we ever had.“So people are kind of all talking about Stevie Ray right now because he’s making his debut, but they’re forgetting about Danny Christie, and that’s someone you definitely don’t want to forget about.“I’m really, really looking forward to that because I want to see what Stevie Ray has coming over in the sport.“We know he was a very well accomplished MMA fighter. Is he going to still do that as he transitions into bare knuckle?“We’re going to find that out on Saturday night. I think if he does great and looks really good, he can be a superstar in this organization.“But Danny has a lot to say about that. He said he’s an MMA fighter coming over. He wants a payday and he’s not really wanting to fight anymore.Former WWE superstar is back in bare-knuckle action at the BKFC event in GlasgowBKFC“But after talking to Stevie Ray, I’m not too sure that that’s exactly what it is. I think Stevie Ray is coming to take his head off.”Former WWE superstar back in actionFeldman also praised heavyweight contender Selmani and believes ‘The Albanian Psycho’ can have a big future at BKFC.“I think his ability to promote himself is head and shoulders above a lot of the guys in the organization because he had that training and that’s the type of training we’re trying to give the fighters moving forward,” Feldman said.“He has a great advantage there, and now he has to catch up to the fighting aspect of it.“He was doing wrestling, which is, you know, people say it’s fake, it’s scripted, it’s real, you’re getting thrown around, but you’re not getting punched in your face with a bare knuckle. It’s not that kind of real.“Now he’s stepping up and doing that. So I take my hat off to him. I think it’s a tremendous shot that he’s taken, really. And he’s been great to work with.”Watch Boxing on DAZN*If you click a link in this boxout, we will earn affiliate revenueSign up to DAZN to access the definitive subscription for boxing fans.Upgrade to DAZN Ultimate from just £24.99/month, guaranteeing access to 185+ fights annually, a minimum of 12 pay-per-views at no extra cost, as well as every Lega Serie A match and other elite football access.Alternatively, DAZN Standard is just £15.99/month, with the caveat you will have to pay for pay-per-view events.Click here to sign up.Selmani added: “I’m very excited to be a part of this organization — I believe it will be the biggest combat sports organization over the next couple years.!I’ve been around the combat scene for a long time.
