Kyle Daukaus is a submission specialist. Daukaus has eight submissions on his professional record and is a veteran of the Cage Fury FC fight promotion, so he has had quality opponents.

Daukaus is also a veteran of the 2019 Contender Series. Kyle has five D’Arce Choke submission finishes and at 6’3″  with 76″ arms it is easy for him to slide his arms into the correct positions on his opponents. Kyle also has the majority of his submissions outside of the first round meaning that his technique is heavily affected by sweat or blood and he is still a threat to finish any fight late in the action.

Though Daukaus dropped his first fight in the UFC to Brendan Allen, earlier this year, he will be looking to get back in the win column at UFC 255.
