BKFC 32 set for Orlando with bantamweight headliner, debut of former Bellator fighter Jessica Borga

BKFC 32 is set for Orlando, Fla.

The event will take place Nov. 5 at Royale Caribe and feature a bantamweight main event between Reggie Barnett Jr. (7-2) and Geane Herrera (1-0), the promotion recently announced.

The card marks the second time BKFC will hold an event in Orlando and the 15th time overall in Florida.

Barnett Jr., 36, most recently competed in July when he won the promotion’s interim bantamweight championship against then-titleholder Jarod Grant at BKFC Fight Night: Tampa 2. The win was his fourth in his most recent five bouts with the promotion.

Herrera, 32, is a former UFC fighter who most recently competed in MMA in 2018. At BKFC 19 in July, Herrera won his BKFC debut when he finished Abdiel Velazquez with punches in Round 2.

Additionally on the card, former Bellator fighter Jessica Borga (0-0) makes her BKFC debut. Her three most recent MMA fights came under the Bellator banner with a win over Amber Leibrock and losses to Talita Nogueira and Leah McCourt. She’ll face fellow newcomer Brooke Gilley (0-0) in a 165-pound matchup.

The current BKFC 32 lineup includes:

  • Reggie Barnett Jr. vs. Geane Herrera
  • Jay Jackson vs. Jared Warren
  • Jessica Borga vs. Brooke Gilley
  • Gabe Freyre vs. Bobby Taylor
