Elijah “The Buffalo Soldier” Harris is a Pennsylvania-based combat-sports athlete who competes in BKFC’s featherweight and lightweight divisions. Before entering the Squared Circle, Harris built a 16-fight professional MMA record across promotions such as King of the Cage, Cage Fury Fighting Championships, LFA, FightWorld MMA, Shogun Fights, and 247 Fighting Championships. His MMA background is grappling-oriented: four of his six documented professional MMA victories came by submission. Despite this, he has been working on his hands in the Squared Circle and finding a good deal of success.

With one career already to be proud of in MMA, His bare-knuckle career is shaping up nicely having already been paired up with some solid names. It should be mentioned that Harris fought Nazim Sadykhov and was the first person to take him to a decision - a feat that as of 2026 has not been replicated.
