KYLE PREPOLEC

A Canadian mixed martial artist, Kyle Prepolec swapped his hockey skates for fighting gloves early in his athletic career. Training out of the Maximum Training Centre, the southpaw has competed across multiple weight divisions. His path to the UFC lightweight ranks was paved by capturing championship belts in promotions such as SMMA, TXC, and BTC. Notably, he proved his high-level capability in 2025 by securing a Fight of the Night honor upon his return to the world’s biggest stage.

Prepolec enters his next matchup with an 18-10-0 record, looking to regain his footing after a difficult stretch. He suffered back-to-back losses in 2025, first falling to Benoît Saint Denis via arm-triangle choke and then getting stopped by strikes against Drew Dober. These recent setbacks followed a productive three-fight winning streak that included a 2024 TKO victory over Gustavo Wurlitzer, preceded by knockout wins against Marco Antonio Elpidio in 2022 and Josh Henry in 2023.
