Matt Russo or "Rambo" as he's more well known, is a rapidly rising contender in the men's flyweight division with nothing but quick finish wins against his competition. He surrounds himself with fellow BKFC talent like Bryan Duran and Howard Davis and with grenades for hands, this Florida kid is always bringing a show to the Squared Circle.
He comes forward hard with a kill or be killed mindset no matter who he stands across from. In his first two BKFC bouts, Russo has had less than four minutes of fight time which is unheard of at 125 unless you are John Dodson who Russo plans to overthrow in the future. "Rambo" throws every punch with ill intent and he is more than willing to take one to give one, having displayed a solid chin in recent bouts.
Russo is an anime guy being partial to Dragon Ball Z and specifically Goku's character who he has paid homage to wearing the orange trunks with blue trim accompanied by the "enlightenment" symbol seen on Goku's gee. He follows the lifestyle of the Saiyan from the same show who are enlightened martial artists that have ascended our reality after intense training and battle. A characteristic of a Japanese Saiyan is lightened hair after they have reached enlightenment.
We actually see some very high-level martial artists follow this same kind of mythology including Charles Oliveira who bleaches his hair before every fight and Israel Adesanya who constantly references anime shows like Death Note before and during his fights.

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.”
