Matthew Semelsberger has a new home after winning the recent BKFC tryouts to earn a spot on the KnuckleMania VI card going down in Philadelphia on Feb. 7.

On Monday, BKFC announced that the tryouts held at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia featured 60 fighters vying for a spot on the card. Ultimately, it was Semelsberger and local fighter Christian Fayne who won the opportunity and now they’ll face off in February.

Semelsberger joining the BKFC roster via the tryouts is his first move since being released from the UFC following four straight losses. He actually broke the news on social media that he was being released from his contract with Semelsberger admitting that perhaps he didn’t actually belong on the roster any longer.

“Officially released from the UFC. Par for the course, I don’t deserve to be there with the best of the best and I’ve shown that these last few fights in particular,” Semelsberger wrote on Instagram. “Everyone hits plateaus and filters in life and in their careers. It’s happened many times in my life and I’ve tasted the pain of both discipline and regret in succeeding or failing to climb levels. The whole you either die a hero or live to become the enemy rings true to me because life is a serious of metaphorical deaths and rebirths.. You can’t stay the same, you gotta grow and let go of your old self to evolve a stronger heart and spirit.

When it comes to MMA guys boxing or doing bare knuckle boxing, you can just post those in the MMA discussions.
Its like @DaCrippler who only comes to post threads like "C List MMA guy vs C List MMA guy are boxing, who ya got?"
Nobody gives a shit about that.
