DONALD SANCHEZ

Donald Sanchez is an MMA legend coming out of Jackson Wink. He has made a significant impact on a lot of up-and-coming fighters from his home of Albuquerque. He uses his platform to help make the changes he wants to see in the world and his social media is flooded with positive and motivational messages.

When he entered the BKFC, he had moved away from a professional MMA career with a record of 30-20 being active from 2005 to 2019. As a truly well-rounded fighter, Sanchez holds 11 wins by both knockout and submission, so he can fight in any style required to win in the Squared Circle. If he's fighting a rangier striker, he can get inside and clinch like we see wrestlers do often and if he's wanting to strike with a smaller or slower puncher, he can stick and move from the outside and work his way to a decision.

There is a high level of technicality coming from the combat sports veteran but he no doubt has a target on his back having a name in the MMA world. He's competed in the LFA, ONE Championship and Bellator. It seems fighting will always be a part of the '84 born Sanchez's life and with a newer entrepreneurial focus, throwing hands is truly a passion that will never die.

He talks all the time about how his losses teach him more than his wins and he tries to challenge himself every day. Sanchez embodies what it means to be a fighter and anytime he throws down, expect moderate volume with higher accuracy than his opponent along with a mixture of shots coming from his orthodox stance.
