MAKI PITOLO

With a vast amount of MMA experience dating back to 2009 and some time in the UFC, ‘Coconut Bombz’ is more than ready to make his debut in the BKFC in a main event. His first sporting love was football but began training MMA in high school to stay in shape in the offseason. Like so many fighters from his era, he became inspired to throw himself more into the sport after seeing Forrest Griffin vs Stephan Bonnar in 2005.

His amateur debut was on July 23, 2009 and he had a solid ammy career before turning pro in 2013. With an overall record of 16-11 in professional MMA and having faced opponents like Impa Kasanganay, Dakota Cochrane, Kassius Kayne and many more, Pitolo feels ready to perform in the Squared Circle.

Other notable promotions that Pitolo has fought in are Bellator and the Contender Series, the ladder of which got him his spot on the UFC roster from 2019-2021. As a Hawaiian fighter and known brawler, Pitolo is set to make waves in his BKFC debut and go straight to the top of the middleweight division.
