Michael Andrew Kyle (born March 31, 1980) is an American professional mixed martial artist and boxer currently competing in the Heavyweight division. A professional competitor since 2001, Kyle has competed for the UFC, the WEC, Strikeforce, the World Series of Fighting, Absolute Championship Berkut, Pancrase, and King of the Cage. He is the former WEC Heavyweight Champion and King of the Cage Light Heavyweight Champion.

Kyle is from Boise, Idaho. He attended Nampa High School and was friends with the late Justin Eilers, who Kyle would actually end up fighting in his second fight for the UFC. Eilers and a friend who were both two grades ahead of Kyle, taught him Brazilian jiu-jitsu techniques when he was a sophomore in high school. Kyle was also a talented football player, playing fullback for Butte College in Oroville, California and Eastern Oregon University. During his early mixed martial arts career he split time between fighting and playing football. He was invited to a spring camp for the San Francisco 49ers, but ultimately decided to focus on mixed martial arts.

Kyle made his professional boxing debut on January 17, 2003, as a heavyweight, losing via unanimous decision.

Kyle returned to the boxing ring in 2016, winning via knockout for his first professional win. Kyle would go 0–2–1 before ending the year, however, most recently losing a unanimous decision to undefeated fighter Darmani Rock.

Kyle is married and has one daughter with his current wife, as well as two sons from a previous marriage. He is of partial Irish descent.
