Yoel Romero, former UFC title contender, answered the question of who in the organization could succeed in bare-knuckle fights.

"It's a tough question because there are a huge number of UFC fighters with very good striking. When we talk about Bare Knuckle, we're mostly talking about boxers. I would name Max Holloway, who has the right technique for this. Here you not only need to have a good strike, striking technique, but you also need excellent body movement and footwork. We can add Justin Gaethje and Ilia Topuria to this list."
