Putting Hawaii on his back and representing it with the most pride, Keali’i Kanekoa started his combat sports career off in MMA and has also dabbled in boxing and bare-knuckle fighting. Most recently he has been competing in Power Slap where he holds his best competition record of 3-2. With seven fights in MMA, both of his wins have come by T/KO and his losses all by submission or decision so we know he likes to work with his hands.

With very quick hands and an aggressive fight style, he’s bred to compete in the BKFC and looks forward to making his debut in his home state of Hawaii.

It was made public ahead of his debut that he would be donating 100% of his purse to help the efforts with the disastrous floods afflicting his homeland. This was not only an attempt to bring awareness and hopefully garner further financial support from others to the issue, but also to give back to his community.

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.”
