James Murrin is a Massachusetts-based featherweight making the transition from a long regional MMA career to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. Murrin brings a 5-6 professional MMA record over almost 20 years, with every one of his five wins coming inside the distance: two by TKO and three by submission. His résumé suggests a versatile finisher with proven ability both to hurt opponents with strikes and capitalize on grappling exchanges, though BKFC will place the emphasis squarely on his hands, toughness, and pocket exchanges.

Murrin began competing professionally in 2013 (2007 as an amateur) and has fought for established New England promotions including CES MMA and Combat FC. His early wins included a doctor-stoppage TKO over Douglas Monteiro at CES 19.5 and a 59-second TKO of Devin Pilkington at CES 26. He also owns three rear-naked-choke wins, demonstrating that he was not a one-dimensional striker during his MMA career.
