It's not every day you see two MMA media personalities fighting bare-knuckle inside a bullfighting ring, but that's what we're getting today on the main card of BKFC Spain.

Exclusive: Ben Davis Talks BKFC Debut vs. McGregor Reporter

Kicking off the promotion's broadcast debut on DAZN are Oscar Willis and Ben "The Bane" Davis, who clashed in an amateur contest at lightweight. The unlikely matchup came to fruition in late August with Willis approaching Davis about stepping away from the commentary booth and into the ring for a bare-knuckle scrap in Marbella, Spain.

Davis wouldn't refuse, signing the dotted line and making the walk once again after competing in combat sports such as BJJ, boxing, and Karate Combat, which the 24-year-old won by unanimous decision in June.

When he's not fighting, "The Bane" commentates for various MMA promotions and sports, as well as Misfits Boxing, the banner in which Davis fought and lost to Anderson Silva's son, Gabriel, last year.

Facing off against Davis is Oscar Willis, the head honcho of Conor McGregor's media outlet, 'The Mac Life'. Willis, 33, was nominated for the World MMA Awards' Journalist of the Year for his work in the industry, covering UFC events and interviewing fighters.

Same as Davis, this serves as Willis' BKFC debut - previously having fought as a amateur in MMA, defeating Jeremiah Benavidez nearly two years ago in Tuff-N-Uff. Davis will have top UFC lightweight contender Dan Hooker in his corner for his return fight.

Round 1:

The fight continues but not for much longer as Davis is knocked down again by The Mac Life reporter with a right - the final time as the referee waves the contest off.

Official result: Oscar Willis defeats Ben Davis via TKO in round 1 (1:57)
