Afterwards, American Hunt, who is 6-1 in BKFC and 3-5 in MMA, got in the ring to confront the newly crowned champion.

But Lombard furiously reacted with a two-punch combination before security and his own opponent Riggs pulled them apart.

The Cuban, 43, is now 3-0 in bare-knuckle, having last fought in MMA in 2018.

He left the UFC after six straight losses, but was rival Bellator’s inaugural middleweight champ.

BKFC have a host of former MMA fighters on their roster, from Thiago Alves, 37, Paige VanZant, 27 and Chris Leben, 40.

“So, I think it’s better. You got to pick your shots. You got to be smarter. We got to probably do a boxing fight first, warm these hands up.

“We’re going to see. We’re going to keep everything open.”
