Kyle Daukaus

Kyle Daukaus, a 6'2" southpaw middleweight with a professional record of 17-4-0 (1 NC), operates as a well-rounded mixed martial artist with notable submission prowess and defensive wrestling. Over his career, Daukaus has averaged 3.32 strikes landed per minute with 53% striking accuracy while maintaining solid takedown defense at 82%, though his takedown accuracy sits at just 25%.

His submission average of 2.1 per 15 minutes reflects a genuine grappling threat, evidenced by recent finishes including a lightning-quick submission of Gerald Meerschaert in November 2025 (1:50, Round 1) and a first-round submission victory over Jamie Pickett in February 2022. However, Daukaus has struggled against top-tier competition, suffering losses to Phil Hawes (unanimous decision, May 2021), Brendan Allen (unanimous decision, June 2020), and Roman Dolidze (KO/TKO, June 2022), which exposed gaps in his striking defense at 42%.

His recent 4-3 record from his last eight fights demonstrates inconsistency at the UFC level, where he continues searching for a sustained winning streak to establish himself as a legitimate middleweight contender.
