Kai Stewart was born in Liberal to Lorrie Stewart and Jack Schechter. Roger Willis is his stepdad. Kai spent his early years in Hugoton, attending grade school on and off for a total of eight years. Since 2010 he has been living full-time in Montana. There, he started wrestling at the tender age of four and dabbled in various kids’ sports, even playing football through middle school.
However, wrestling turned out to be his true calling. He wrestled year-round, participating in National wrestling tournaments across the northwest.
His dedication paid off, as he eventually became undefeated in middle school and achieved the impressive feat of becoming a four-time qualifier, three-time finalist, and one-time Montana State Wrestling Champion.
In 2019, just two weeks after his high school graduation, Kai took his first MMA (mixed martial arts) fight on short notice. Although he lost by split decision, he fell in love with the sport and built an amateur record of 7-3. In 2021 he secured his first MMA championship belt in Salt Lake City. Then, Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) came to Great Falls, Montana, and Kai quickly made a name for himself in the pro circuit, winning his first three pro bouts. This earned him a shot at the inaugural 145# World Championship belt, which he clinched in front of his many friends, fans, and family to the resounding words, “And New.” This win made him the youngest BKFC champion in company history (22).
Kai is a well-rounded individual. He’s currently studying business at the University of Providence in Great Falls and operates his own business called “Catch Uh High” on Etsy.
Additionally, he coaches wrestling at Central Catholic High School and mentors a kids’ wrestling team. His active involvement in the community and support for others led to a product being named after him, “Cracked Skull Pepper” by Alpine Touch.
In his free time, Kai enjoys unwinding by fishing and guiding. Kai reflects on his journey, saying, “As I stand on the precipice of superstardom, I can’t help but reflect on the path that brought me here. I am Kai Stewart, a name that is starting to resonate in the world of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. With an undefeated record of 4-0, I’ve made a mark in a sport that demands not only physical prowess but also unwavering determination to succeed.”
Kai’s journey through BKFC has been one of grit and resilience, conquering every challenge that came his way with the unwavering support of his team, family, fans, and both communities of Hugoton and Great Falls. He’s ready to prove his mettle once again December 2, showcasing why he’s a force to be reckoned with in the world of bare knuckle fighting. He takes immense pride in carrying the spirit of Hugoton into the ring.
