Abdiel Velazquez is a Puerto Rican mixed martial artist turned bare-knuckle fighter with a come forward and bang style. He’s had a very active professional career, having fought multiple times a year since 2014. He’s gone to war with Travis Thompson, Johnny Bedford and Reggie Barnett Jr. Velazquez made his debut at BKFC 3 against Shawn West who he knocked out in the very first round.

The southpaw fights smart but loves a good brawl and no matter what happens in the Squared Circle, he has fun and so do the fans! Velazquez is a father of two young boys and a husband to his wife Nicole. He also likes to promote small, local businesses and partners with many on his fight nights. In and out of the gym, the guy is a hard worker and we are lucky to get to see high level performances from an OG in the BKFC!
