Gonzalez exits MMA, at least temporarily, having lost two of her most recent three fights. She was scheduled to fight Erin Blanchfield in November but withdrew after she contracted COVID-19.
As for Sigala, she made her BKFC debut at “Knuckle Mania” in February when she lost a unanimous decision to Taylor Jenkins, in what was one of the most exciting fights of the evening.
With the addition, the BKFC 18 lineup includes:
- Joey Beltran vs. Sam Shewmaker – for the heavyweight title
- Hector Lombard vs. Joe Riggs – for the light heavyweight title
- Tyler Goodjohn vs. Luis Palomino – for the lightweight title
- Thiago Alves vs. Ulysses Diaz – for middleweight title
