Like many on the BKFC roster, Samuel Samples began fighting in MMA. Before stepping into the BKFC’s Squared Circle, Samples went 2-2 over an eight year period with a few canceled fights preventing him from being as active as he would have liked.

Samples debuted in the promotion back in May of 2023 where he faced and defeated Glendell Futrell. He fell short in his follow up performance against Derek Perez but did find some success against someone who seems nearly impossible to knockout.

Samples is low volume but powerful. He tends to get outstruck win or lose but the power shots he throws are enough to end the night against most bantamweights.

Samuel Samples is a father, business owner and wrestling coach. He has gotten his kids involved in wrestling at an early age and spends a lot of time with them outside of training. They enjoy fishing and being outdoors in the fresh Georgia air. He’s also an advocate for suicide prevention and mental health awareness, even working with charities who support the cause.
