BKFC

The Challenge

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship had a rabid fanbase and a growing content library — but no streaming infrastructure to match their ambition. Their audience was watching clips on social. They needed a premium OTT experience that could handle live pay-per-view events, grow a subscription base, and deliver on every major screen. But BKFC's ambitions didn't stop at 'just stream the fights.' They had a vision for custom fan engagement features — and they needed a platform flexible enough to build on top of, not just build with.

The Solution

BKFC partnered with dotstudioPRO to launch a fully branded streaming service on every major platform — Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Android TV, iOS, and Android — live in weeks. But what makes this case study different is what happened after launch: BKFC's own engineering team took the DSP SDKs, APIs, and CMS backend and built custom fan engagement features directly on top of the platform. No foundational rebuild required — just the freedom to extend.

• Native apps across Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, iOS, and Android — deployed in weeks
• Live streaming infrastructure for PPV events with SVOD subscription layer
• Full video CMS for content management, fight library, scheduling, and metadata
• Open SDK and API layer — BKFC engineering built custom engagement features on top
• Ongoing infrastructure maintenance — their engineers focus on product, DSP runs the platform

The Result

BKFC didn't just launch a streaming service — they launched a platform. DSP gave them the speed to go live fast and the open architecture to build exactly the fan experience they envisioned on top of it.
