Carlos Newton (born August 17, 1976) is an
Early life
Carlos Newton was born in
Mixed martial arts career
Newton's professional mixed martial arts career began at the early age of 19, as the youngest no-holds-barred extreme fighter ever. His first match was one of the most memorable "David vs Goliath" NHB fights in history, with Newton giving up over 100 lbs to a much larger Jean Rivière on the Extreme Fighting 2 card in April 1996. After dominating much of the fight, it ended with a submission loss due to sheer exhaustion for Newton, however, the spectacle of the brave smaller fighter launched his career. Newton competed in the world's top mixed martial arts organizations such as Shooto, K-1 and Pride Fighting Championships in Japan, UFC in America and W-1 in Canada.
Pride FC and Shooto Japan
Newton started his Japan fight career with a win over
Ultimate Fighting Championships
Newton's fourth and fifth fights marked his UFC debut at UFC 17, defeating Bob Gilstrap and losing a controversial decision to Dan Henderson on the same night for the middle weight tournament title. Newton's greatest professional accomplishment in his career was capturing the UFC Welterweight Championship from Pat Miletich in May 2001 at UFC 31. The reign was short-lived however, as Newton lost his first title defense in November of that same year at UFC 34 against accomplished wrestler Matt Hughes. Newton had a triangle choke locked in on Hughes, but Hughes picked up Newton, walked him to the corner, and attempted to slam him. Newton placed his arm over the side of the cage to prevent the slam, causing John McCarthy to warn him, before Hughes seemed to lose consciousness and fall to the mat while still holding Newton, causing Newton to hit his head and also lose consciousness. With Hughes slow to get up and Newton out cold on the mat, McCarthy would award the victory to Hughes via KO. The ending of the fight proved to be controversial, as many believed that Hughes was unconscious before Newton, who should have been awarded the victory as a result.[citation needed]
K-1 HEROs
Newton was set for a comeback fight at K-1's HEROs MMA promotion against
International Fight League
Newton and Riggs were the coaches of the
W-1
Carlos, motivated by a chance to compete in Canada, made a return to MMA again in 2009 at Warrior-1: Inception. He scored a first round victory by way of KO against Nabil Khatib, this was Carlos's first fight on Canadian soil in 13 years. He again returned to action on October 10, 2009, against former UFC veteran "Mr. International" Shonie Carter at Warrior-1: High Voltage. The bout was to be for the Warrior-1 Welterweight Championship, but because Newton did not make weight, it was a non-title bout. Newton beat Carter by unanimous decision after three rounds.
In 2009, after his win over Shonie Carter, he stated in an interview to Sherdog that he was anticipating his return to fighting abroad, with particular interest in Japan. However, after one more fight in Australia, Newton decided, that after a successful fight career that spanned 14 years, it was finally time to take a break and focus on coaching.
Following his retirement, Newton had coached at his home gym, Warrior Mixed Martial Arts, in Newmarket, Ontario, until he eventually opened and began coaching at his own gym, Newton Mixed Martial Arts, in Pickering, Ontario.[1]
