Taylor Starling is back in the ring on May 6 when she faces Marisol Ruelas at Blood 4 Blood at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Florida. The contest is featured on a four-fight card that is part of an event combining bare-knuckle fights with live metal music. Tickets can be purchased via Ticketmaster.
Former two-division BKFC title challenger Starling (5-4) of Rock Hill, South Carolina, comes off a unanimous decision victory over Shelby Cannon at BKFC 79 Sturgis last August. With the win, the 30-year-old bounced back from losses to Bec Rawlings and Britain Hart.
Ruelas (0-2) of Woodridge, Illinois, seeks her first BKFC victory. In her previous bout last October, the 29-year-old dropped a split decision to Brooke Evans after suffering a TKO defeat against Shyanna Bintliff in her debut last August.
The Blood 4 Blood card also includes:
- Alex Terrible (1-1) facing Cameron Delano (1-0) of Liberty, South Carolina, in the main event.
- Jake Bostwick (4-2-1) of Coconut Creek, Florida, against Roderick Stewart (2-3) of Abilene, Texas.
- Sergey Kalinin (1-0) making his BKFC debut against Brock Walker (2-2) of Big Stone, Virginia.
Blood4Blood starts the festivities for Welcome to Rockville, a rock, metal and punk festival that marks its 15th anniversary from May 7 to 10 at Daytona International Speedway.
Slaughter to Prevail frontman Alex Terrible, who battles in the main event, has also been announced to perform, along with sets from Black Label Society, Crowbar and Malevolence.
