TAYLOR DAGNER

A long time fan of bare-knuckle fighting, Taylor Dagner has envisioned her first BKFC fight for years. The time finally came at BKFC Fight Night Mohegan Sun and she hopes for it to be the first of many after a fascinating life path has gotten her here. In her eyes, her idols have become her rivals as she trains out of the same gym that Lorenzo Hunt did and continues to push for greatness.

Dagner’s fiance is her sparring partner but she has been rubbing soldiers with a lot of active BKFC fighters across various weight classes. As a former mixed martial artist, boxer and kickboxer, the mom of one is multiversed in many aspects of combat. With speed, footwork and the cardio to dig deep in later rounds Dagner is extremely confident in her abilities.

Dagner comes from humble beginnings living in a small home with brothers who helped her learn how to fight. Growing up in a crowded space with a less than ideal family situation, being surrounded by addiction and poverty set her a step behind in life from the jump. People tend to use those kinds of things as excuses to perpetuate a dysfunctional lifestyle, but fighters use it as fuel to ascend in life and Dagner is a true fighter. While holding nothing but love in her heart despite a lot of tough times in her past, Dagner looks forward to hurting any opponent she faces when she toes the line.
