Ryan Petersen is a Muay Thai style striker with some bare-knuckle experience under his belt before stepping onto the big stage. He’s had some amateur kickboxing bouts as well and looks to lean more into a sport when he can only use his hands, which he prefers.

Petersen is going to look to make every fight a short one. It’s not that he can’t go the distance because he has done so before and came out victorious, he just likes to rush to the finish and get his money quickly. Expect him to put on a pace and go chin for chin with his opponent while using technical striking.

The Californian is quietly racking up an impressive BKFC resume albeit a short one to date. With a couple more wins, you’ll see his name in the rankings of the welterweight division and possibly a title shot in the near future.
