Nyseam McCain got his Golden Ticket to BKFC KnuckleMania VI at the Philly tryouts in late 2025. With a lifetime of fighting to support the boss’s choice to give him a shot, McCain was bred for combat and believes his entire life’s journey was to lead him to the BKFC middleweight title.

At age 14, he began training boxing but that wasn’t before getting in tons of fights on the streets of Virginia as a kid. His father saw him heading down a bad path in life and insisted that he learn how to fight in competition. Waking him up before school and keeping him up late to train, the foundation for a world class fighter was laid.

He was scooped up by Ninth Dimension Gym (Ninth Dimension Sports Cycle) under the watch of Omar Aleem, a massive name in the world of boxing having a slew of high level fighters like Immanuwel Aleem. Along with the Aleem family, McCain trained with Don Spellman and after receiving praise from high level fighters and trainers, he realized he could hang with anyone in the world.

Spending 12 hours a day in the gym, every day for a long period of time helped set the stage for his Golden Gloves Championship wins in 2016 and 2017 at 165 and 175 respectively. He spent time in the Underground Fight League and over all of his fights, sits at a record of 41-0 upon his BKFC debut.

Being a very spiritual man, Nyseam McCain believes that his body is a shell and he is willing to put it through hell to achieve his goals. Training with Olympians and high level street fighters alike, he understands the business side of combat sports as well as the grittiness that it takes to succeed.
