Dan ‘The King of Mekong’ Vinni is an MMA veteran to say the very least. The high level BJJ black belt fights out of London by way of the United Arab Emirates where he trains the military of the country. Training BJJ as a full time job to a nation’s armed forces really enforces the idea of Vinni being a highly technical student of the fight game.

Vinni has a professional MMA record of 24-19-1 to date but that record is continuing to grow as he fights for the BKFC. He has taken a number of MMA bouts after his promotional debut against Conan Barbaru where he scored a round two knockout. Vinni is a six time MMA champion and remains ranked in the top 5 of the Czech Republic based Oktagon MMA promotion.

Dan Vinni likes to implement both conventional and nonconventional along with old school and new school techniques into his bare-knuckle fighting style. He uses his high fight IQ that years of high level BJJ has taught him to exercise and he incorporates that drowning style that we have come to expect from grapplers on the BKFC roster.

Just to give a peek into his extensive knowledge and studying of fighters from all eras and sports, he at one point mentioned wanting to use a cross arm defense a la boxing hall of famer Archie Moore, because he had never seen the technique used in the Squared Circle. It’s observations like that that truly make Vinni something unique in the BKFC and a martial artist that will continue to get better until the day he decides to step away.

The Denver fighter is now 5-1 with 3 straight wins after his Co-Main Event victoryRamiro Figueroa is riding high after earning the biggest win of his career at BKFC 88. In the Co-Main Event at the sold-out National Western Center in Figueroa’s hometown of Denver, he notched his third straight victory at the expense of former BKFC World Champion Elvin “El Bandido” Brito. Figueroa is now 5-1 under the BKFC banner. “(Brito) is a legend. Everybody speaks highly of his accomplishments in bare knuckle fighting, so this was the next step up that I had to rise to,” the 24-year-old Figueroa says. Mission accomplished. In his last three trips to the Squared Circle, Figueroa has taken out the former BKFC World Champion Brito, the previously undefeated Dalvin “Hippy Disciple” Blair and former BKFC World Championship challenger Howard “HD” Davis. What’s next? Figueroa hopes his next fight will be for the BKFC World Lightweight Championship, or he’d also be more than happy to fight for an interim belt, if necessary. Regardless of what’s on the immediate horizon, Figueroa agrees that he’s at the forefront of the hard-charging next wave of BKFC superstars. “I’m 24, and I believe my best is still years away, when I’m in my prime. If I can secure the belt now, I still believe that I’ll be dominant for as long as I want,” he says. “I don’t understand the full game of bare knuckle yet, but I’m learning more and more with every single fight. I believe that the sooner I win the Championship, it’s going to be even better for me, and I’ll hold the belt for many years.”
