Dillon Cleckler began his combat sports career as a mixed martial artist and has transitioned nicely into bare-knuckle. He ran up an impressive 11-1 record as a professional in MMA and not a single one of his fights ever went the distance. All of his 11 wins came via T/KO and his only loss was by knockout. Cleckler spent most of his MMA career in Island Fights, a local promotion in his home state of Florida.
After his successful stint in his original combat sport, Cleckler went on to take off the gloves and debut in the BKFC against Frank Tate. After knocking out the heavy-handed brawler, ‘Bad Boy’ fought his way straight into a title bout against one of the best heavyweights on the roster in Arnold Adams. Cleckler fell short for the first time in bare-knuckle in that spot and took his first L, having a record of 3-1 at that time. He remains dangerous despite not being active in BKFC and tried out some traditional boxing and bare-knuckle MMA in the meantime.
*Dillon Cleckler makes his return to the Squared Circle three years after his title fight loss against Adams and takes on Parker Porter in the main event of BKFC Mohegan Sun Porter vs Cleckler.
He is a father of two girls, a husband and is a blue collar worker outside of fighting.

Worlds collide this week at Blood 4 Blood!

BKFC is changing the game again this week in Daytona Beach, FL!
The former BKFC World Title challenger enters the Squared Circle for the 10th time
The Denver fighter is now 5-1 with 3 straight wins after his Co-Main Event victoryRamiro Figueroa is riding high after earning the biggest win of his career at BKFC 88. In the Co-Main Event at the sold-out National Western Center in Figueroa’s hometown of Denver, he notched his third straight victory at the expense of former BKFC World Champion Elvin “El Bandido” Brito. Figueroa is now 5-1 under the BKFC banner. “(Brito) is a legend. Everybody speaks highly of his accomplishments in bare knuckle fighting, so this was the next step up that I had to rise to,” the 24-year-old Figueroa says. Mission accomplished. In his last three trips to the Squared Circle, Figueroa has taken out the former BKFC World Champion Brito, the previously undefeated Dalvin “Hippy Disciple” Blair and former BKFC World Championship challenger Howard “HD” Davis. What’s next? Figueroa hopes his next fight will be for the BKFC World Lightweight Championship, or he’d also be more than happy to fight for an interim belt, if necessary. Regardless of what’s on the immediate horizon, Figueroa agrees that he’s at the forefront of the hard-charging next wave of BKFC superstars. “I’m 24, and I believe my best is still years away, when I’m in my prime. If I can secure the belt now, I still believe that I’ll be dominant for as long as I want,” he says. “I don’t understand the full game of bare knuckle yet, but I’m learning more and more with every single fight. I believe that the sooner I win the Championship, it’s going to be even better for me, and I’ll hold the belt for many years.”
