Mike Kyle
Mike Kyle (born March 31, 1980) is an American retired mixed martial artist who competed in the light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions.[1] Known professionally as "MAK," he is recognized for his aggressive striking style and participation in prominent promotions such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Strikeforce, and the World Series of Fighting (WSOF).[2] Throughout his career, Kyle compiled a professional record of 23 wins, 19 losses, and 1 draw, with 17 of his victories coming by knockout or technical knockout.[3][2] Born in Boise, Idaho, and fighting out of San Jose, California, Kyle made his professional debut in 2001 and trained at the American Kickboxing Academy alongside notable fighters.[1] His UFC tenure included key victories, such as a first-round knockout of James Irvin in 2005 and a knockout win over Wes Sims in 2004, though he faced setbacks like a submission loss to Fabricio Werdum in 2009.[2] In Strikeforce, Kyle participated in the 2011 Heavyweight Grand Prix, losing to Antonio Silva by TKO in the quarterfinals, and was later submitted by Gegard Mousasi in 2013.[2] Later, he competed in the Professional Fighters League (PFL) and Absolute Championship Berkut (ACB), securing wins like a TKO over Daniel Gallemore in 2017, but ended his MMA run on a four-fight losing streak, with his last bout in 2019.[2] Kyle stands at 6 feet 3 inches tall with a 77-inch reach, and he also ventured into professional boxing (1-3-1 record) and bare-knuckle boxing with the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), where he holds a 0-2 record.[4][5]Background
Early Life
Mike Kyle was born on March 31, 1980, in Boise, Idaho.[2][6] He grew up in the Boise area, where he attended Nampa High School and developed early interests in athletics, particularly football.[7] During his high school years, Kyle began exploring combat sports, starting to train in fighting at the age of 17.[8] After high school, Kyle pursued higher education and continued his athletic pursuits in football. He attended Butte College in Chico, California, where he played as a fullback, and later transferred to Eastern Oregon University, balancing his studies with the sport.[9] These college experiences marked his formative years in organized athletics, providing a foundation of physical discipline before he shifted focus toward combat training.[7]Amateur and Pre-Professional Experience
Mike Kyle began his martial arts journey during high school in Boise, Idaho, where he was introduced to Brazilian jiu-jitsu by two older peers, including a friend named Eilers, who were two grades ahead of him.[7] This early exposure to grappling techniques formed the foundation of his combat skills, complemented by his athletic background in football, which honed his physical conditioning and wrestling base. Prior to turning professional, Kyle trained in additional disciplines such as striking arts to round out his mixed martial arts preparation, though specific early gym affiliations in Idaho remain undocumented in available records. Kyle amassed a perfect 3-0 amateur MMA record, showcasing his developing prowess in regional competitions. His debut amateur bout occurred on May 22, 1998, at Rose Room Fights, where he submitted Josia Jones in the first round.[2] He followed this with a knockout victory over Brian Vega on August 7, 1999, at Idaho Summer Fight Series 2.[2] His final amateur fight was a TKO win against Motu Salu on February 25, 2000, at Kumite 3.[2] Building on this undefeated amateur run, Kyle transitioned to the professional ranks at age 20. He made his pro debut on March 10, 2001, at Night of the Knockout 1, defeating Andrew Boyle via TKO (punches) at 1:30 of the first round.[2]Mixed Martial Arts Career
2001–2005: Debut and Initial Promotions
Mike Kyle began his professional mixed martial arts career in 2001, quickly establishing himself in regional promotions with a series of knockout victories that highlighted his aggressive striking style. On March 10, 2001, at Night of the Knockout 1 in Boise, Idaho, the 20-year-old Kyle made his debut against Andrew Boyle, securing a first-round TKO via punches at 1:30.[2] Less than three months later, on June 9, 2001, at Night of the Knockout 2, he faced Kauai Kupihea and earned another TKO victory with punches in the second round.[2] Kyle extended his undefeated streak on February 10, 2002, at Gladiator Challenge 9: Valley of Kings, where he submitted Nate Russak to punches for a first-round TKO at 2:39, bringing his record to 3-0—all via strikes.[2] His early momentum faced challenges in King of the Cage (KOTC), a prominent regional promotion at the time. On May 17, 2002, at KOTC 13: Revolution in Reno, Nevada, Kyle dropped a first-round TKO loss (submission to punches) to veteran Dan Bobish at 3:25, marking his professional debut defeat.[2] He rebounded briefly but suffered another setback on November 1, 2002, at KOTC 18: Sudden Impact in Mount Shasta, California, where Paul Buentello knocked him out with punches in the second round at 1:24, leaving Kyle at 3-2 overall.[2] These losses in KOTC exposed vulnerabilities in his ground game against more experienced heavyweights, yet they did not deter his focus on stand-up exchanges. Kyle regained form in 2003 through appearances in other regional and emerging promotions, showcasing rapid finishes that underscored his knockout power. On October 17, 2003, at World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) 8: Halloween Fury 2 in Las Vegas, he demolished Jerry Vrbanovic with a first-round knockout via punches just 12 seconds into the bout.[2] Eight days later, on October 25, 2003, at Impact Fighting Championships: Battleground Boise in Idaho, Kyle submitted Jason Reed to punches for a first-round TKO at 1:52.[2] Entering 2004 with renewed confidence, he notched quick wins in lesser-known events: a first-round TKO due to injury against Dan Chase at 12 seconds on January 3 at King of the Rockies 1, followed by a first-round TKO via punches over Jude Hargett at 4:09 on January 16 at WEC 9: Cold Blooded.[2] These victories improved his record to 7-2, with seven of his wins coming by way of strikes, solidifying his reputation as a dangerous puncher in the heavyweight division. Kyle's breakthrough came with his entry into the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in 2004, where he competed in the heavyweight division. Making his promotional debut on April 2, 2004, at UFC 47: It's On! in Las Vegas, Kyle faced Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist Wes Sims and secured a dramatic first-round knockout with a knee and follow-up punches at 4:59, earning Fight of the Night honors.[10] His momentum stalled in his next outing on August 21, 2004, at UFC 49: Unfinished Business, where Justin Eilers knocked him out with a single punch at 1:14 of the first round.[10] Despite the quick loss, Kyle returned for one more UFC bout on February 5, 2005, at UFC 51: Super Saturday in Las Vegas, avenging his aggressive style by knocking out James Irvin with a punch at 1:55 of the first round to finish his UFC run at 2-1.[10] His time with the UFC concluded after these three fights, as he sought opportunities elsewhere. Closing out the period, Kyle ventured internationally on October 2, 2005, at Pancrase: Spiral 8 in Tokyo, Japan, where a controversial stoppage led to a third-round technical decision victory (unanimous) over Tsuyoshi Kosaka at 1:17, halted due to a cut on Kosaka.[2] By the end of 2005, Kyle had compiled a 10-3 professional record, with nine of his wins by knockout or TKO, demonstrating his evolution from regional prospect to a fighter tested on major stages through relentless striking prowess.[2]2006–2008: WEC Championship and Strikeforce Introduction
In 2006, Mike Kyle challenged for the WEC Heavyweight Championship against defending champion Brian Olsen at WEC 20: Cinco de Mayhem on May 5 in Lemoore, California. The bout ended in disqualification for Kyle at 5:00 of the first round after he delivered illegal punches following the bell, marking a controversial loss that led to a temporary suspension by the California State Athletic Commission.[2] This fight came shortly after Kyle's loss to Devin Cole by TKO (punches) at 2:56 of the second round at WEC 18: Unfinished Business on January 13, 2006, highlighting a challenging start to the year in the heavyweight division.[2] Kyle had previously captured the inaugural WEC Heavyweight Championship on January 16, 2004, defeating Jude Hargett by TKO (punches) at 4:09 of the first round at WEC 9: Cold Blooded, establishing himself as the promotion's first heavyweight titleholder.[11] However, following his title win and subsequent bouts, Kyle transitioned to the light heavyweight division, competing at 205 pounds in several appearances. This shift contributed to the vacating of the WEC Heavyweight title, with the division ultimately abolished in December 2006 after Zuffa acquired the promotion, redirecting focus to lighter weight classes.[12][13] Kyle's move to light heavyweight coincided with his entry into Strikeforce, debuting on March 10, 2006, against Krzysztof Soszynski at Strikeforce: Shamrock vs. Gracie in San Jose, California. The fight ended in a technical draw at 2:02 of the first round due to an accidental thumb to the eye, preventing a clear outcome but introducing Kyle to the promotion's growing platform.[2] He returned to Strikeforce on March 29, 2008, at Shamrock vs. Le, where he submitted to Wayne Cole via armbar at 0:45 of the first round, a quick defeat that underscored the competitive depth at light heavyweight.[2] During this period, Kyle demonstrated his knockout power in regional bouts outside Strikeforce, notably securing a TKO (punches) victory over Rudy Martin at 0:41 of the first round on April 26, 2008, at IFC: Caged Combat in Chico, California, showcasing his striking ability with ground-and-pound that forced the stoppage.[2] These performances highlighted Kyle's aggressive style and power, even amid mixed results in major promotions, as he navigated the transition between weight classes and organizations.2009–2012: Strikeforce Peak and Grand Prix
In 2009, Mike Kyle achieved a significant upset victory in Strikeforce by defeating highly regarded light heavyweight Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante via TKO (punches) in the second round at Strikeforce: Lawler vs. Shields on June 6.[14] This win showcased Kyle's striking power and marked a strong start to his heavyweight push in the promotion. Following the Werdum loss on August 15 at Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg, where he succumbed to a first-round submission via guillotine choke just 1:24 into the bout, Kyle secured a third-round TKO over Jeremy Freitag on December 20, 2009, at XMMA 1, and additional wins in KOTC against Jon Murphy (TKO, second round) on March 26, 2010, and Tony Lopez (split decision) on May 14, 2010, before a no contest against Travis Wiuff on February 12, 2010, due to a punch after the bell.[15][2] The quick loss to Werdum highlighted the grappling prowess of top-tier heavyweights and prompted a brief hiatus from competition. Returning in July 2010 at Strikeforce Challengers 9, Kyle secured a submission win via rear-naked choke against Ron Humphrey in the second round, rebuilding momentum in the division.[16] He followed with a first-round TKO over Stephen Oliver on November 5, 2010, at XMMA 3. His progress was tested later that year on December 4 at Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu 2, where he engaged in a intense, back-and-forth battle with Antônio "Bigfoot" Silva. Despite rocking Silva early with powerful strikes, Kyle was finished by TKO (punches) in the second round, underscoring the durability and counterstriking threats posed by elite heavyweights.[17] This defeat, following his earlier setback against Werdum, emphasized the grueling challenges of the heavyweight landscape during Strikeforce's competitive era. In 2011, Kyle participated in the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix. He advanced in the quarterfinals with a second-round knockout of Valentijn Overeem on April 9 at Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley, but was submitted by Gegard Mousasi via rear-naked choke in the first round of the semifinals on July 30 at Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Henderson.[2] After the tournament, Kyle earned a unanimous decision victory over Marcos Rogério de Lima on September 10 at Strikeforce: Barnett vs. Kharitonov, utilizing precise boxing and takedown defense to outpoint the Brazilian over three rounds in a prelim bout.[18] This performance demonstrated Kyle's resilience and technical growth amid the promotion's push for heavyweight talent. In 2012, Kyle sought redemption in a rematch with Cavalcante at the Strikeforce: Barnett vs. Cormier on May 19. The bout ended abruptly with Cavalcante securing a first-round guillotine submission at 0:33, but the result was later overturned to a no contest after Cavalcante tested positive for stanozolol, a banned anabolic steroid.[19] This outcome, while not a formal win, preserved Kyle's record and capped a period defined by high-stakes matchups against Strikeforce's top heavyweights, where his aggressive style yielded both triumphs and tough lessons in the division's unforgiving environment.2013–2019: Independent Circuits and Final MMA Bouts
Following his departure from Strikeforce after a submission loss to Gegard Mousasi on January 12, 2013, Kyle knocked out Travis Wiuff in 21 seconds at CFA 11 on May 24, 2013.[2] He then transitioned to the upstart World Series of Fighting (WSOF) promotion, seeking to revive his career in the heavyweight division. His promotional debut came against former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski at WSOF 5 on September 14, 2013, where Kyle was outstruck over three rounds en route to a unanimous decision defeat (30-27, 30-27, 30-27).[20] Kyle rebounded briefly but suffered a devastating first-round knockout loss to Anthony "Rumble" Johnson via punches at 2:03 at WSOF 8 on January 18, 2014, highlighting vulnerabilities in his defensive wrestling against explosive power.[21] After Johnson, he lost by knockout to Evgeny Erokhin on December 20, 2014, at FEFoMP Supercup, but rebounded with a first-round guillotine submission of Magomedbag Agaev on March 26, 2015, at Abu Dhabi Warriors 2.[2] His WSOF tenure concluded with a unanimous decision loss (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) to Clifford Starks at WSOF 22 on August 1, 2015, in a grinding affair where Kyle landed fewer significant strikes but showed resilience in clinch exchanges.[22] In 2016, Kyle ventured to Russia to compete in the Absolute Championship Berkut (ACB), a prominent European promotion, marking his first international bouts outside major U.S. organizations. At ACB 32: Battle of Lions on March 26, 2016, he faced undefeated heavyweight Denis Goltsov and was caught in a first-round technical submission via triangle choke at 2:18, exposing gaps in his ground defense against technically proficient grapplers.[23] Kyle secured a much-needed victory in his next outing, stopping Dan Charles with punches at 2:15 of the first round at ACB 51 on January 13, 2017, demonstrating his enduring knockout power with a flurry that forced a referee stoppage.[24] Kyle continued on independent circuits with the Professional Fighters League (PFL) in 2017, compiling a mixed 1-2 record across the inaugural season. He dropped a unanimous decision (29-28 x3) to Josh Copeland at PFL 2 on July 29, 2017, in a competitive striking battle marred by Kyle's slower footwork. He responded with a dominant first-round TKO via knees at 1:01 against Daniel Gallemore at PFL Fight Night on November 2, 2017, capitalizing on his clinch striking to overwhelm his opponent. The following year, at PFL 7 on August 30, 2018, Kyle lost a unanimous decision (30-27 x3) to Caio Alencar, struggling with takedown defense in a fight that underscored his adaptation challenges against versatile heavyweights.[2] Kyle's final MMA bouts came in 2019 amid regional promotions, signaling the end of his 18-year professional run. He was submitted by rear-naked choke in the first round by Viktor Pesta at 1:59 at Oktagon MMA 13 on July 27, 2019, in Prague, Czech Republic.[25] His last fight was a quick submission loss via armbar at 1:03 of the first round to Jordan Powell at PureCombat: Warrior Spirit 2 on October 5, 2019, after which Kyle retired from mixed martial arts at age 39.[2] Over this period, Kyle went 4-9 in MMA, contributing to his overall professional record of 23-19-1 with two no contests.[2] Entering his mid-to-late 30s, his style evolved toward more conservative striking output and clinch reliance, but increased exposure to younger grapplers and decision-heavy outcomes reflected the physical demands of longevity in heavyweight MMA, with 5 of his 8 losses coming via submission or decision compared to earlier knockout-heavy defeats.[1]Other Combat Sports
Professional Boxing Career
Mike Kyle made his professional boxing debut on January 17, 2003, as a heavyweight against Brian Torzenski at the Bank of America Center in Boise, Idaho, losing by unanimous decision over four rounds.[4] Following this initial loss, Kyle took a 13-year hiatus from the ring, focusing primarily on his mixed martial arts career during that period. Kyle returned to professional boxing in 2016, securing his first career victory on January 23 against James Kirby at the Marriott on Broadway in Oakland, California, via knockout in the first round. He then suffered a unanimous decision loss to Jonathan Rice on May 5 in Irvine, California, over four rounds. This was followed by an unanimous draw against Trent Rawlins on June 9 at The Hangar in Costa Mesa, California, over four rounds. Later that year, Kyle lost by unanimous decision to Darmani Rock on August 6 at Oracle Arena in Oakland, California, in a four-round bout. Kyle's professional boxing career was marked by sparse activity, with only five total fights spanning 2003 to 2016, resulting in an overall record of 1 win, 3 losses, and 1 draw (1 KO).[4] His limited bouts reflected a secondary pursuit alongside his more extensive MMA endeavors, leveraging his established striking foundation from mixed martial arts.Bare-Knuckle Fighting
Following his retirement from mixed martial arts in 2019, Mike Kyle transitioned to bare-knuckle fighting as a late-career experiment, debuting in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) promotion under its Toe the Line event series.[26][27] Kyle's bare-knuckle debut occurred on October 16, 2020, at Toe the Line 2 in Plant City, Florida, where he faced Bobo O'Bannon in a heavyweight bout.[26] O'Bannon defeated Kyle via TKO due to retirement at 2:00 of the first round, after Kyle sustained significant damage and was unable to continue.[28][29] In his second and final bare-knuckle fight, Kyle competed on November 12, 2021, at BKFC 22 in Miami, Florida, against Gustavo Trujillo in another heavyweight matchup.[30] Trujillo secured a quick knockout victory at 0:34 of the first round with a powerful strike.[31][32] Kyle's bare-knuckle record stands at 0–2, with both losses occurring by stoppage in the opening round, marking a brief and unsuccessful venture into the no-gloves format.[5]Personal Life
Family and Residence
As of 2011, Mike Kyle had one daughter from his then-current relationship and two sons from a previous marriage, with the sons residing in Idaho.[33] In 2010, he was engaged to Stephanie Serna after an eight-year relationship and planned to marry the following summer.[34] Kyle has maintained a residence in San Jose, California, since establishing his base there for his professional career.[2][1]Heritage and Interests
Mike Kyle, born in Boise, Idaho, pursued American football alongside his early mixed martial arts endeavors, playing as a fullback at Butte College in Chico, California, and later at Eastern Oregon University. He received an invitation to attend a spring training camp with the San Francisco 49ers, highlighting his athletic versatility, though he ultimately prioritized his fighting career over professional football opportunities.[7]Championships and Accomplishments
Major Titles
Mike Kyle captured the inaugural World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) Heavyweight Championship on January 16, 2004, defeating Jude Hargett via TKO (punches) in the first round at 4:09 during WEC 9: Cold Blooded.[35] He held the title for approximately two years until it was vacated due to inactivity in the division prior to WEC 18 in January 2006. In the light heavyweight division, Kyle won the King of the Cage (KOTC) Light Heavyweight Championship on May 14, 2010, against Tony Lopez via split decision after five rounds at KOTC: Honor.[36] This victory marked his first title in the promotion, though he did not mount a formal defense before transitioning back to higher-profile bouts.[12] Kyle also secured the Xtreme MMA (XMMA) Light Heavyweight Championship on November 5, 2010, stopping Steve Oliver via TKO (punches) in the first round at XMMA 3 in Sydney, Australia.[37] The win came during an international excursion and represented his sole acquisition in the promotion, with no subsequent defenses recorded.[2]Notable Achievements
Mike Kyle is renowned for his knockout prowess in mixed martial arts, securing 17 of his 23 professional wins by KO or TKO, which accounted for 74% of his victories and underscored his reputation as a powerful striker in the heavyweight and light heavyweight divisions.[2] Throughout his career spanning multiple promotions including Strikeforce and the World Series of Fighting, Kyle faced elite competition such as Antonio Silva and Rafael Cavalcante, contributing to the depth and competitiveness of the heavyweight class during the early 2010s by testing emerging talents and veterans alike.[1][10] His durability and willingness to take on high-profile bouts, often on short notice, earned him respect within the MMA community as a reliable gatekeeper for top contenders, helping to elevate the visibility of regional and international circuits.[3]Mixed Martial Arts Record
