Severe Storm Forces BKFC Budva to Cancel Main and Co-Main After Broadcast Delay

The weather-hit outdoor show at Budva’s Top Hill underscores BKFC’s vulnerability to open-air venue risks.

Overview

  • The live broadcast, slated for 2 pm ET, was postponed minutes after the start time and shifted to a 7 pm ET tape delay on the BKFC App.
  • Heavy rain and a sudden storm at the outdoor Top Hill venue disrupted the card, with Conor McGregor on site describing the conditions as unsafe.
  • About 10 hours after the initial update, BKFC canceled the main event between Vaso Bakočević and Wilhelm Ott and the co-main between Petar Ražov and Bojan Kosednar due to extreme weather.
  • The portion of the card that was completed is now available to watch as a replay on BKFC+.
  • The disruption renewed scrutiny of BKFC’s outdoor-event strategy, while talk of a Conor McGregor BKFC debut remains speculative because he is still under UFC contract.
