Champion King Kai Stewart Demands Bigger BKFC Fights & Better Pay

Segment Spotlight: Quick Hits From Combat Sports Report

Kai Stewart Demands Bigger Fights and Better Pay After Paying His Dues

Kai Stewart believes he has fought through the BKFC roster and is ready for bigger names, better pay and higher-profile opportunities. With opponents becoming harder to find, Stewart wants BKFC to put real money on the table and secure a major fight for him.

Stewart questioned why Mike Perry received significantly more money despite Stewart’s accomplishments as a seven-time world champion. With Perry no longer on the roster, Stewart believes BKFC now has the budget to increase his pay and deliver the big-name fight he has repeatedly requested.

He said he has paid his dues and felt insulted by the fight offered to him on the cruise. Stewart plans to honor that commitment before reevaluating his future. He expects to emerge as an eight-time world champion with a 12-0 professional combat sports record, making his case undeniable.

Stewart declared that he wants to “fry bigger fish,” whether BKFC provides those opportunities or he pursues them independently. He called himself the best 145-pound fighter on the planet across every organization and said his undefeated record speaks for itself.

However, Stewart also made one condition clear: his baby boy is due three weeks before the fight. If the scheduled bout causes him to miss his son’s birth, Stewart said he will be done.
