RICO ‘BON BON’ FRANCO
Ricardo Franco is one of the most renowned MMA competitors in the UK, known for his skills, style, and attitude. His “anyone, anywhere” mantra has seen him compete on some of the best promotions in the world, including travelling to Russia to fight on M-1, and featuring on ACB and on the likes of BKB and Caged Steel.
As well as his career in the cage, Franco has been successful in the ring, with an unblemished record in bareknuckle boxing, most recently being crowned BKB World Champion, Muay Thai titles in Thailand, and various bouts in K-1 and western boxing. Rico was recently crowned BKB world champion after beating Jimmy Sweeney in a sold out O2 arena, and streamed live around the world on Pay Per View.
