Jordan Kryfka

Jordan "Thee Backpack" Kryfka is a lightweight submission grappler out of Ignite MMA, originally from Aurora, Illinois. A decade into training, he keeps adding disciplines to the backpack — a purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and a black belt in Shaolin kung fu among them. The goal is bigger than winning: "to be the entertainer, the showstopper, the icon."
