The story of Kyle ‘The Irishman’ McElroy is one of those “feel good” stories without a doubt. He made his professional debut after catching eyes at a BKFC tryout session. He went on a three-fight skid and essentially had his back against the wall. Either give this fighting thing your all or hang it up - and hang it up he did not! He would be the first to tell you he was not putting his best foot forward when he debuted. He began shedding weight and completely transformed his body from an obese 300 pounder to a shredded 200 pounder. It’s no coincidence he won his first fight in the BKFC after making that change.
Despite looking like a guy that would throw hands with a complete stranger if they asked him the time, McElroy is a soft-spoken, very kind individual when he’s not in the Squared Circle. His style, after the weight loss changed dramatically and doing tape study before his fight against Richard Montano is pointless. He’s very calculated and doesn’t only rely on pressure these days. With soaring confidence, he’s going to be a problem for any 185er he faces.
McElory prides himself in his ability to inspire people struggling with weight loss and his social media has blown up because of his transformational success. He’s made fundamental changes to his lifestyle but still enjoys partying with the boys and letting loose just a bit out of camp.

The Michigan fighter struck gold in the BKFC 88 Main Event in Denver
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.”
