Nate “Mayhem” Maness is a prominent MMA fighter who seems to have bare-knuckle fighting deeply ingrained in his DNA.
On Friday at BKFC 69, Maness, a fighter with seven UFC appearances under his belt, secured a TKO victory in his much-anticipated bare-knuckle fighting debut against Nick Burgos. The event was held at a packed Gas South Arena in Atlanta and was broadcast live to a global audience via The BKFC App.
“BKFC offered me the most lucrative deal after my departure from the UFC, and I’ve always believed that my MMA approach embodied the bare-knuckle spirit — charging forward, throwing punches, and striving to entertain the fans,” says the fierce competitor from Henderson, KY.
“I genuinely feel that BKFC aligns perfectly with my style. I am thrilled to be part of this,” Maness expresses with enthusiasm.
However, Maness’s ambitions extend beyond mere participation; he aims to assert his dominance in the sport.
“I believe it is entirely within reach to capture the flyweight and bantamweight titles. That’s the goal I am pursuing,” he states with determination.
“I thrive on thrilling matchups and absorbing the crowd’s energy, so I’m prepared for everything BKFC can offer. My aim is to loyally contribute to the organization, step into the ring, throw punches, and deliver excitement.
“I am committed to embracing it all,” Maness concludes confidently.
