Brandon Conley’s heavy hands are heaven sent.
The Chillicothe, OH product worked tirelessly to set world records as a powerlifter – but he was born with dynamite in his hands.
“I think my power is just a God-given gift,” Conley says with a smile. “People say that it comes from my powerlifting and being such a strong guy, but I remember I was knocking out full-grown adults when I was just 13 years old doing amateur boxing, with big gloves and headgear.”
Conley’s explosive hands were on full display in his Squared Circle debut at BKFC 63 on Saturday, when he sent DJ Tice Jr. to the canvas five times en route to a third-round KO victory in Sturgis, SD.
“I think I have the heaviest hands at 185 or 205,” he says.
“Whoever I hit is either going down or going unconscious.”
Conley hasn’t decided if he’d like to stay at 205 pounds or move down to the 185-pound weight class. Regardless, he has big goals for his BKFC career.
“I’m going to be the Champion here,” he says.
“It’s just a matter of how long it takes for me to get a shot at the belt, but I’m just going to keep knocking people out until I can’t be denied.”
