Kurtis Ellis joined the BKFC after having eight fights as a professional mixed martial artist including three in the LFA. Every one of his wins has come by T/KO and his losses mostly by submission. He knows that if that ground game component is eliminated from his fights, he can really go places and looks to do that without gloves.

His aggressive style is going to be welcomed into the Squared Circle by BKFC fans at his debut in his home city of Omaha on April 18, 2025.

While he’s been a pro since 2022, Ellis had an extensive amateur MMA career spanning five years and he earned a title in Caged Aggression and MMA evolved. Elliss has also boxed and competed in bare-knuckle MMA
