Chad Lucanas stepped onto the world bare-knuckle stage with BKFC, making his professional debut on the promotion’s historic first event in Canada. Discovered by Chris Lytle at BKFC tryouts in Edmonton, Lucanas quickly showed that he belonged among the next generation of bare-knuckle prospects.

A proud Filipino fighter, Lucanas carries the influence of boxing icon Manny Pacquiao into every fight. Inspired by Pacquiao’s explosive footwork, speed, angles, and relentless pressure, Lucanas has developed a style built around precision, movement, and unpredictability. Under the guidance of head coach Parwez Ghulam, Lucanas continues to evolve into a dangerous and calculated bare-knuckle fighter. Patient and fundamentally sound, he uses quick footwork, unorthodox angles, and sharp combinations to create openings and punish his opponents.

When he’s not preparing for his next fight, Lucanas is behind the chair at Block 105, where he’s making his mark as a professional barber and proudly carries the nickname “the face of the fade game”. From the barber chair to the bare-knuckle ring, Lucanasbrings the same mentality: stay sharp, stay composed, and be ready to put in work. Representing Edmonton and his Filipino roots, Chad Lucanas is looking to make his name known every time he steps through the ropes.
