Kyle Daukaus (born February 27, 1993) is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the Middleweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He is the younger brother of fellow UFC fighter Chris Daukaus.

Background[]

Daukaus was raised in Northeast Philly in the Tacony neighborhood, where he still lives and trains. When he was younger, Daukaus and his older brother Chris Daukaus would watch UFC fights together and then grapple with each other in their basement. Eventually, the brothers entered a grappling tournament, where both would finish second, despite having minimal formal training. The Daukaus brothers decided to take up MMA soon after, and both are now fighters in the UFC. After high school, Kyle weighed approximately 260 pounds, and his MMA coach suggested that he needed to take heavyweight bouts. Kyle would have a back-and-forth amateur fighting career, going 5-5 in his bouts. He would eventually drop down from 205 pounds to fight at 185 pounds, where he currently competes in the UFC's middleweight division.[3]

Mixed martial arts career[]

Early career[]

In his MMA debut at AFL 53, he faced Dino Juklo and submitted him via rear-naked choke in the first round. Daukaus also tapped out his next two opponents in Tyler Bayer and Kyle Walker. Then at AOW 5, he submitted Elijah Gboille in round two via rear-naked choke. At ROC 66 Daukaus tapped out Dustin Long via rear-naked choke in the first round. He submitted two time veteran of the UFC Jonavin Webb via brabo choke at CFFC 72. At Dana White's Contender Series 18 he took on Michael Lombardo and defeated him via unanimous decision to pick up his first and only decision win at that point as a professional.[4]

In the co-main event of CFFC 78, Daukaus submitted Stephen Regman in the second round via brabo choke. At CFFC 81 he tapped out Nolan Norwood via brabo choke in round two.[5] [6]

Ultimate Fighting Championship[]

Daukaus made his UFC debut as a short notice injury replacement for Ian Heinisch against Brendan Allen on June 27, 2020 at UFC on ESPN: Poirier vs. Hooker.[7] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[8]

Daukaus faced Dustin Stoltzfus on November 21, 2020 at UFC 255. After dominating the bout, he won it via unanimous decision.[9]

Daukaus was scheduled to face Aliskhab Khizriev on April 10, 2021 at UFC on ABC: Vettori vs. Holland.[10]However, the bout was pulled from the card on April 7 due to COVID-19 protocols.[11]

Daukaus faced Phil Hawes on May 8, 2021 at UFC on ESPN: Rodriguez vs. Waterson.[12] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[13]

As the first bout of his new four-fight contract, Daukaus faced Kevin Holland on October 2, 2021 at UFC Fight Night 193.[14][15] A clash of heads early into the fight knocked Holland unconscious briefly, but he continued to fight and was eventually submitted by Daukaus via a standing rear-naked choke. However, referee Dan Miragliotta reviewed the footage via replay and it was deemed the head clash led to the sequence of events resulting in Daukaus' win. Therefore, the fight was declared a no contest after the accidental headbutt.[16] The rematch of the pair was scheduled on November 13, 2021 at UFC Fight Night 197.[17] However, Holland withdrew from the bout due to injury[18] and he was replaced by Roman Dolidze.[19] In turn, the bout was scrapped due to COVID-19 protocols related to Dolidze’s camp.[20]

Daukaus is scheduled to face Julian Marquez on February 19, 2022 at UFC Fight Night 202.[21]
