Francesco Ricchi is back.
After 19 months on the sideline, the former BKFC World Middleweight Champion returns to action Saturday against Blake LaCaze at BKFC on DAZN: Hollywood at the iconic Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL, LIVE worldwide on DAZN.
“It feels great to be back,” the Italian-born Fort Lauderdale, FL fighter says.
“I’m very relieved to be back in there, but I’ll be much more relieved with the result.”
Ricchi predicts he’ll score his sixth BKFC victory on Saturday. He respects LaCaze, but he’s looking to make a big-time statement in his highly anticipated return to the Squared Circle.
“I’m going to be aggressive right from the start,” he says.
“I’m going to make my case that I still belong at the top of the division, so I’m going to lead with aggression and finish him in the second or third round. But I’m not going to press the issue. I just don’t think he’s going to be able to handle my pressure, and I’m going to be providing a lot of it.”
Now that Ricchi is back, he’s eager to make up for lost time.
“I’d love to fight five times in 2025 if BKFC will have me,” he says. “I’d fight every month if they let me.”
