Main Event Preview

Jarod Grant captured the BKB interim lightweight title with a unanimous decision over Jorge Bargallo in May 2025. His initial match with Jon Barnard ended as a no contest due to a cut, but in their rematch on April 17 in Niagara Falls, New York, Barnard knocked Grant out to claim the title.

Grant aims to reclaim his spot atop the lightweight ranks with this super lightweight fight on Friday.

Luis Guerrero, age 38, fights out of Tultepec, Mexico. He measures 5-foot-11 compared to Grant's 5-foot-6, according to Tapology. Guerrero scored a second-round stoppage over Luis Morales at BKB 42 in June 2025 but was later stopped by Bekhzod Usmonov at BKB 52 in March.

The bout is set for five rounds of three minutes each and is not promoted as a title fight.

BKB has released promotional material highlighting Grant ahead of the matchup.
