Conan Barbaru began his combat sports career back in 2018 as an amateur mixed martial artist. He made some appearances in Cage Warriors amateur division and fought all around England then. He made his professional debut in bare knuckle and upon his BKFC debut, he had three fights under his belt in the sport.

Barbaru first fought Dan Vinni who is far from an easy debut no matter the level of experience. He fell short there but looks to bounce back in his adopted country of England at BKFC 64. He relocated to London, England from Transylvania.
