The West Coast hub welcomes BFL back to the spotlight as BFL 85 lands in Vancouver, British Columbia.

  • Event page: BFL 85

Main event scouting — Powell vs. Kajić

Canada’s Zackery Powell has been quietly putting together the kind of well-rounded game that holds up in championship rounds. He draws Bosnia and Herzegovina’s perpetual threat Dejan Kajić — a veteran with a rugged clinch, damaging kicks, and the kind of situational experience that turns tight rounds. Tap into the matchup breakdown on the bout page: Powell vs. Kajić.

Co-feature storylines: Siraj returns, Kennedy’s high-profile homecoming

In another catchweight championship pairing, finishing machine Gustavo Erak collides with home-country favorite Jamie Siraj. Siraj’s combination punching and mat pressure complement a five-round gas tank, but Erak’s submission instincts can flip a round in a heartbeat. Dive deeper: Erak vs. Siraj.

Also on deck, former Bellator contender Jeremy Kennedy makes a can’t-miss main-card appearance versus gritty technician Nic Ouellet. Kennedy’s timing, entries and control are proven at elite levels; Ouellet thrives in wild momentum swings. Full breakdown: Kennedy vs. Ouellet.

Prospect to watch — Adam Posener’s submission chains

Undefeated Canadian grappler Adam Posener is trending up the prospect charts — and for good reason. He meets Allan Ruiz in a bout that could put him on the short list for 2026 call-ups. Tap the matchup: Ruiz vs. Posener.

Depth check — why this undercard matters

From international talent like Caleb Moctezuma to unbeaten Canadians including Valentyn Bulat and Jake Kelly, the rest of the lineup is tailor-made for talent evaluation. Keep a close eye on these stylistic clashes: Moctezuma vs. Randall, Reyes Castañeda vs. Bulat, and Carlos Bañuelos vs. Ahangarian. For striking-forward showcases and late-reel drama, circle Kelly vs. Briglio, Mashreghi vs. Tremayne, Gill vs. Houston, and Lochard vs. Tasone.

Rounding things out: Briones vs. Woods, Bilenko vs. Stratis, Barbosa vs. Jeffers, and Perperidis vs. Seeley (listed as Paripardes on the bout URL) add more regional heat.
