Anything But Fighting: Kyle Daukaus loves Batman, Spider-Man, and Watchmen movies

UFC middleweight Kyle Daukaus opened up about his passion for superhero films and television during an appearance on MMA Fighting's Anything But Fighting podcast, discussing his love for Watchmen, Batman, Spider-Man movies, and the series The Boys.

Daukaus (17-5), a two-time CFFC middleweight champion, recently suffered a setback at UFC White House in June when he lost to Bo Nickal—a result that ended his six-fight winning streak and marked his first UFC loss since re-signing with the promotion in 2025. The loss stalled momentum for the grappling-heavy competitor, whose submission prowess has been a hallmark of his career.

Twelve of Daukaus' 17 victories have come by submission, showcasing his wrestling credentials and ground control. His resume includes notable wins over experienced fighters such as Gerald Meerschaert, Michel Pereira, Jamie Pickett, and Dustin Stoltzfus. With his recent defeat, Daukaus faces the task of rebuilding his position in the middleweight rankings as he looks to return to his winning ways and climb back into title contention.
