Taylor Starling vs. Marisol Ruelas Added to Inaugural Blood4Blood Fight Card
Daytona Beach, FL (April 2, 2026) – The Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) has unveiled the complete fight card for its inaugural Blood4Blood event, scheduled for Wednesday, May 6, at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, FL.
This exciting event will serve as a prelude to the highly anticipated Welcome To Rockville festival, Florida’s largest rock, metal, and punk gathering, celebrating its 15th anniversary from May 7-10 at the Daytona International Speedway. Tickets for Blood4Blood are available for purchase.
A highlight of the card is the much-anticipated return of two-time BKFC Women’s World Title Challenger Taylor Starling (5-4, Rock Hill, SC). She will step back into the Squared Circle to face popular bare-knuckle fighter Marisol Ruelas (Woodridge, IL). Starling, a prominent figure on the BKFC roster, comes off a dominant win against Shelby Cannon in August 2025 at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Ruelas, known for her aggressive style, will challenge Starling after a closely contested split-decision loss to Brooke Evans at BKFC Fight Night Hammond in October 2025.
Headlining Blood4Blood, as previously announced, will be Slaughter to Prevail frontman Alex Terrible (1-1 in bare-knuckle fighting) in the main event. He is set to face middleweight and PBR star Cameron ‘The Bull’ Delano (1-0). Alex Terrible will also treat attendees to a performance with his acclaimed heavy metal band.
The event will feature other compelling matchups, including ‘Brutal’ Jake Bostwick (4-2-1, Coconut Creek, FL) battling his long-time rival Roderick ‘Ice Water’ Stewart (2-3, Abilene, TX). Additionally, MMA standout Sergey ‘Kratos’ Kalinin (1-0, Ekaterinburg, Russia) will make his BKFC debut against Brock ‘Alpha Dawg’ Walker (2-2, Big Stone, Virginia) in the heavyweight division.
Beyond the fights, Blood4Blood promises a unique experience by integrating live music performances from heavy music legends such as Black Label Society, Crowbar, and Malevolence, creating an immersive blend of combat sports and hard rock.
The Ocean Center is located at 101 N. Atlantic Ave., Daytona Beach, FL 32118. Doors open at 6:00 p.m., with the event commencing at 7:00 p.m. local time. The entire event will be broadcast internationally via the BKFC App.
