Zedekiah Montanez or ‘Zed’ as he more commonly goes by, has been fighting for most of his life. He began boxing at age 14 and then transitioned to MMAfour years later. As a North Philly guy, he grew up around violence and is thankful that he has the chance to get paid to fight. He actually started eyeing a BKFC debut because he saw it as a big opportunity to grow his wealth and legacy. *He will debut in his home city at KnuckleMania V against Brandon Meyer.
Montanez was discovered at the epic Philly tryout session which hosted the largest number of potential BKFC prospects to date. He feels that his normal MMA and boxing training has sufficiently set him up for success in BKFC.
Montanez has two kids and hopes to set them up well with his fighting career.

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.”
