Timeline

1976

Carlos Newton (born August 17, 1976) is an Anguillian-born Canadian retired mixed martial artist.

He is a former UFC Welterweight Champion and Pride FC Japan MMA Legend.

Known as "The Ronin", he competed worldwide in the biggest MMA organizations including UFC, Pride FC, IFL, K-1, Shooto and most recently W-1.

He is a 3rd Degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt alongside his coach Terry Riggs under Renzo Gracie, at Warrior MMA in Newmarket, Ontario.

Newton has always been considered a fan favourite and a "Submission Master" and has dubbed his personal fighting style — an amalgam of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Wrestling, Karate, and Boxing — as "Dragon Ball Jiu-Jitsu" in tribute to Dragon Ball, a Japanese manga and anime franchise.

Newton is one of only a few MMA athletes to ever be allowed to compete in the UFC and Pride FC at the same time.

In Canada he was the first Canadian UFC Champion at UFC 31 (Welterweight) defeating Pat Miletich.

Carlos Newton was born in Anguilla and moved to Canada at a young age.

He attended Westview Centennial Secondary School in the Jane and Finch area of Toronto, Ontario.

Newton competed in numerous Jiu-Jitsu and BJJ competitions in Canada and across the world, starting under the legendary Tom Sharkey.

Notably, the prestigious Abu Dhabi Combat Club in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, against Rodrigo Gracie of the legendary Gracie family.

Newton started his Jiu-Jitsu competing career out of the Samurai Club in Toronto.

1996

Shortly after, in 1996, Terry Riggs founded Warrior Mixed Martial Arts in Newmarket, Ontario, which was Canada's first official MMA Academy; Newton followed his long-time training partner and made it his home.

Out of Warrior MMA, Newton's career flourished under the coaching of Terry Riggs and Everton McEwan.

Newton, a Toronto York University student, did his study on geriatric medicine, having done research at Baycrest Hospital, one of the world leaders in geriatric care.

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.

Newton started his Japan fight career with a win over Erik Paulson to become the Vale Tudo Japan World Champion.

After a few dominating fights in the Shooto organization, he then moved on to PRIDE FC, considered to be the top MMA show in the world along with the UFC.

1998

In June 1998, Newton lost a technical bout in Pride Fighting Championships against Kazushi Sakuraba.

The Sakuraba vs. Newton fight is remembered today as a classic and one of the best MMA fights ever for submission grappling fans.

This legendary fight propelled both fighters to MMA superstardom.

2001

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.

Newton was set for a comeback fight at K-1's HEROs MMA promotion against Melvin Manhoef at the Ariake Coliseum on August 5, but had to pull out of the fight at the last minute due to a torn ligament in his knee.

He made a second attempt at a comeback in K-1 HEROs, this time facing Tokimitsu Ishizawa.

Newton made short work of the Japanese fighter, needing only four punches to score the TKO victory in just 22 seconds.

2002

Newton went on in the PRIDE Japan to rack up wins over Daijiro Matsui, Naoki Sano, Johil de Oliveira, all on his way to a spectacular armbar victory over "Pelé" José Landi-Jons at Pride 19 in February 2002.

After this win Pride President Naoto Morishita declared, "Newton is considered the unofficial PRIDE middle weight Champion".

2003

In October 2003, Newton gained a split-decision victory over Renzo Gracie at Pride Bushido 1.

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.

2005

Newton and Riggs were the coaches of the Toronto Dragons in the IFL in the 2005 and 2006 seasons.

Based out of Warrior MMA in Newmarket, the Dragons were made up of international notable fighters such as Claude Patrick, Wagnney Fabiano, Brent Beauparlant, Rafael Cavalcante, Leo Santos and Dennis Hallman.

2007

He then faced Shungo Oyama at Hero's Korea 2007 where he lost by submission due to punches.
