Braeden “Stash” Kuykendall, also known as “The Flash,” is an Arkansas-based fighter whose foundation combines wrestling, MMA and boxing. His verified MMA record is 6-2, with every victory coming by stoppage: three by knockout or TKO and three by submission. That finish rate reflects a versatile, aggressive approach rather than a one-dimensional striking game. In the BKFC he gets to let his hands do all the work and he prefers that.

Kuykendall calls his approach “Native American Kwando,” a personal description of the well-rounded style he brings into competition so it goes without saying, he is proud of his Native American heritage.

Before signing with BKFC, Kuykendall competed across regional MMA circuits. His MMA background gave him experience in both striking exchanges and grappling-heavy fights, while his additional boxing experience helped prepare him for the transition to bare knuckle. Fighting a high level of competition within the Squared Circle, he's looking for that first win while also making it known that he will fight anyone put in front of him.
