Tony ‘Loco’ Soto began his combat sports career in amateur MMA where he went 1-1. He made a successful jump to boxing for a brief time before first stepping into the BKFC’s Squared Circle, and he’s looked unstoppable in the lightweight division. *Soto has scored wins over all of his opponents to date, including Tyler Goodjohn and Kevin Croom.
In the Croom fight, Soto did the unthinkable, landing 89% of his strikes in a full five round, 10 minute fight. He was on the defensive against the aggressive clinching from the UFC veteran and gave him more damage than he may have taken in his entire career. Soto is incredibly well-rounded and presents a very wide range of threats to anyone who toes the line against him. Despite the constant goofing around and smack talk, Soto should be taken seriously when he toes the line. With the ability to shift a game plan mid-fight from pressure striker to counter striker, we also see a high level of fight IQ from the gifted athlete.
Soto earned his first title shot on one of the BKFC’s biggest card to date, where he headlined against the Argentine, Franco Tenaglia for the vacant lightweight title. The two had an all time war that will forever be remembered as one of the greatest in BKFC history but Soto lost a close decision.
‘Loco’ was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and reps the city despite having relocated to North Carolina. He calls himself “The King of the Carolinas,” and who can argue with him at this point? He skates in his offtime and stays active in and out of camp. When it’s all said and done for Soto, he will go down as one of the BKFC’s greatest lightweights and most entertaining personalities.

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.”
