BKFC 94 Manchester: Till vs. Romero Full Card, Start Time and How to Watch

Darren Till and Yoel Romero headline BKFC 94 at the AO Arena in Manchester on Saturday, September 26, 2026. The card starts at 2:00 PM ET, which is 7:00 PM locally in Manchester, and airs on DAZN pay-per-view.

Twelve bouts are scheduled, three of them for titles. Till is 33 and 1-0 in bare knuckle; Romero is 49, an Olympic freestyle wrestling silver medalist, and also 1-0 in the promotion.

Manchester runs on British Summer Time in September, so the card lands in the middle of the afternoon in the United States rather than late at night.

How to Watch BKFC 94 Live

The BKFC 94 main card is a DAZN pay-per-view in both the United States and the United Kingdom. Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship sells its UK events through DAZN rather than its own app, so a DAZN purchase is the route to the main card.

Three undercard bouts are listed separately as free fights. The promotion has put its Manchester prelims out free in the past, on its own YouTube channel and on TrillerTV, so the opening bouts are worth checking for before the pay-per-view window opens.

Tickets for the AO Arena are sold through Ticketmaster UK. The promotion’s last numbered card, BKFC 92 at Fenway Park, ran on the same DAZN structure in August.

Darren Till vs. Yoel Romero

Till, 33, fought 10 times in the UFC and finished 18-5 in mixed martial arts before moving across to bare knuckle. He has three professional boxing wins and knocked out Aaron Chalmers in his BKFC debut in May. The Liverpudlian asked for this fight seven years ago, when both men were still under UFC contract.

Romero, 49, is 17-7 across the UFC and Bellator with 14 knockouts, and took silver in freestyle wrestling at the 2000 Olympics. He is also 1-0 in BKFC, and 16 years older than Till, the biggest age gap on the card.

BKFC lists the bout at cruiserweight on its own event page, though several outlets reported it as a light heavyweight fight and others as a 180-pound catchweight when it was announced.

What Are the Odds for Darren Till vs. Yoel Romero?

Till opened as the betting favorite, and the number has only grown since. Early lines had him around -175 to Romero’s +135; the latest odds tracked by Oddschecker have Till out to roughly -300, with Romero drifting toward +225.

The exact price depends on the book and the day, but every line has Till as the clear favorite. The MMA odds calculator converts prices like these into a payout.

Official betting odds: Darren Till (-315) vs Yoel Romero (+220)

That 16 year age gap is exactly what the odds are pricing in, though even the people picking Till are not dismissing Romero’s conditioning. “He’s fighting and training like he’s in his mid-30s,” BKFC analyst Dan Podmore said of the 49-year-old ahead of the card. “He’s the old man that defies all the odds, and he’s still doing things that old men shouldn’t be doing.”

David Mundell vs. Jack Cullen

The co-main is for the BKFC World Middleweight Title. Mundell is 10-2 in bare knuckle, the most experienced fighter on the card by some distance, and is defending. Cullen is 2-0 and fighting for a world title in his third appearance.

Two more belts are on the line beneath it. Gaz Corran and Mac Bygraves meet for the inaugural BKFC UK Middleweight Title, and Karl Thompson defends the UK cruiserweight belt against Andy Thornton, a fight the two of them started arguing about at the launch press conference in August.
