The familiar comforts of a home environment can often shape who a fighter really is before they even think about hitting the road to venture out into the world. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will meet a steer of a patriotic pulse ready to seize mixed martial arts by the reigns by bucking the stigma of united pride and leave his opponents a shell of what they once were at light heavyweight for Fury Fighting Championship. A professional mixed martial artist since February 2026 and representing House of Jiu-Jitsu, David Puente owns a 1-0 record with his lone win inside the professional ranks coming via decision. His only victory as a professional MMA fighter has resulted in a unanimous verdict over the space of three rounds and a 15-minute timeframe. He is 1-0 under the Fury Fighting Championship banner. Puente also fought for Fury Fighting Championship as an Amateur before turning professional. He has spent his entire career in the United States in his home state of Texas.
In his professional MMA debut and promotional debut under the Fury Fighting Championship banner in the opening main card contest of Fury FC 115, he took on Matt Costello and went on to defeat him via unanimous decision. The win earned Puente the first decision victory of his professional career in addition to picking up his first win under the Fury Fighting Championship banner. He also achieved victory number one overall as a professional mixed martial artist in the process. Puente is a prospect who showcases that any day of the workweek can be cause for celebration when red, white and blue values come together as one fellowship fighting for the same dreams of better and days ahead amidst the unclean muck and ghastly grime and against the backdrop of past misgivings and tried and truthful lessons of an ongoing adventure like our past heroes had to conquer once upon a time!
