Severe Storm Forces BKFC Budva to Cancel Main Events and Abandon Live Broadcast

A sudden storm at Budva’s open-air Top Hill venue exposed the risks of BKFC’s outdoor strategy.

Overview

  • BKFC delayed the planned 2 pm ET live broadcast and shifted coverage to a 7 pm ET tape delay on the BKFC App due to weather-related disruptions.
  • Roughly 10 hours after the initial delay, the promotion canceled the main event (Vaso Bakočević vs. Wilhelm Ott) and co-main (Petar Ražov vs. Bojan Kosednar) citing extreme weather.
  • The completed portion of the card was posted as a replay on BKFC+ after the event was halted early.
  • Conor McGregor attended the show and described the storm as unsafe in an Instagram video before leaving the venue.
  • Footage from the venue showed scaffolding collapsing and spectators rushing for exits, though the extent of any injuries was not confirmed.
