Final Thoughts: 
Garcia was able to withstand Elmore's punches. But Garcia with some power punches against Elmore. So the question is will Joe Elmore take on Kaleb Harris. 

Speaking of Harris, He wins his fight against Noah Cutter due to doctor stoppage. 

But the Knockout of the Fight goes to Anthony Adams defeating Bobo O'Bannon in the TKO, towards the end of Round 1.

The Fight of the Night, belongs to the Main Event of Garcia and Elmore. But a close second goes to first bout of the Main Card where Diaz beats Spencer Ruggeri by majority decision. 

BKFC's next numbered event is April 30th, in Alabama.
