Joe Pyfer - Should Dana White Put Pyfer vs. Paul Craig on the UFC Card? (Video)
In this 24 July 2025 video, host Shawn Ryan talks with Joe Pyfer, born in Vineland, New Jersey, an American professional mixed martial artist competing in the UFC’s Middleweight division, nicknamed “Bodybagz” for his devastating knockout power.
Raised in a challenging environment marked by abuse and homelessness, Pyfer began training in martial arts at age four, starting with jiu-jitsu and judo, and later wrestling in high school. Turning pro in 2018, he captured the Art of War and ROC middleweight titles before earning a UFC contract on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2022 with a second-round TKO. With a record of 14-3, including nine knockouts and three submissions, Pyfer has delivered highlight-reel finishes in the Octagon, earning Performance of the Night bonuses for wins over Alen Amedovski, Abdul Razak Alhassan, and Marc-André Barriault. His latest victory came via unanimous decision against Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 316 in June 2025.
