Mike Jones hunts for 2nd straight win at BKFC 74

May 9, 2025

The Salt Lake City fighter is ready to make a statement in his hometown

Mike Jones has found his lane with BKFC.

The heavy-handed Salt Lake City, UT light-heavyweight hunts for his second straight victory against Sean Hotusing on Saturday, LIVE worldwide on DAZN from his hometown’s Maverik Center.

Jones has nearly 20 professional MMA bouts on his resume, but there’s just something about BKFC for him — and many other fighters in Utah and around the globe.

“This sport is just fun,” Jones says with a smile.

“Boxing has always been my favorite part of MMA, and now that’s all I have to focus on, and that’s really fun for me. The training is fun, and I couldn’t be happier fighting for BKFC. The promotion is great, there’s nothing like it for the fans.

“I love the violence of it all.”

Jones is keen on delivering another violent performance on Saturday.

“I don’t know much about my opponent, so I’m just going to go out there and do my thing. My goal is to get the finish — that’s always my goal,” Jones says. 

“I’m always going for the win, and I hope I can make a statement.”

Jones isn’t looking past Hotusing, but he’d like to take his talents on the road in the future. That being said, he’ll never turn down a fight in Salt Lake City, which is rapidly becoming a hotbed for the sport in the United States.

“Utah loves BKFC,” he says.

“There’s no sport that’s more fast paced than BKFC, and this state has some of the biggest combat sports fans in the world. The fans know what they’re getting with BKFC. They love action from bell to bell.”
