Miami man turns life around through fighting professionally with Bare Knuckle Fighting
Miami’s Uly Monster Diaz fights Brian Maxwell during the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship 10 on Saturday at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale.
That bout will occur on the pay-per-view portion of the fight card on FITE TV.
Diaz has been training at South Beach Boxing with former UFC star Hector Lombard who headlines the event against David Mundell.
Part 1 of my video interview with Uly Monster Diaz at South Beach Boxing.
An inspiration, Diaz turned his life around after spending time in jail. An aggressor, a fighter in many ways in South Miami, he became a boxer, bare knuckle fighter and mixed martial artist, maturing as a competitor and more importantly as a person.
Diaz, 38, spent time at a few high schools in Miami but later earned a high school diploma in a program. During that time, he also graduated from the school of hard knocks.
Coming off a victory in his professional mixed martial arts debut, Uly, short for Ulysses, is a warrior in name, spirit and competition. He currently trains in boxing via the guidance of Commander Zero and Orlando Cuellar at South Beach Boxing in Miami Beach, not far from the legendary 5th Street Boxing Gym.

Some of his fighting role models include former Miami street fighter and current UFC bad ass Jorge Masvidal as well as the late, great Miami street fighter and Bellator MMA combatant Kimbo Slice. He worked on the security team for his childhood friend Mr. 305, Mr. Worldwide Pitbull.
Diaz sports many tattoos which have meaning, and Jhery Brown from 561 Loc Lounge does his cool dreadlocks.
Game Time Management provides Diaz’s calling card.
