A professional MMA competitor since 2006, Bailey has formerly competed for the UFC, Strikeforce, Bellator, M-1 Global, and was a competitor on The Ultimate Fighter: Team Lesnar vs. Team dos Santos.

The son of a devoted pastor father, Shamar Bailey was raised in a strict Christian household which moved him across state lines six times before his 20th birthday.

These moves were due to his dad's full-time corporate re-locations.

Bailey was homeschooled until his senior year of high school when he elected to attend the local Greenwood, Indiana, public school.

During his senior season at Center Grove High School, Bailey excelled on the varsity wrestling team, going undefeated over the course of the year.

After high school, Bailey attended Maranatha Bible College and majored in church-ministry.

The Church Ministries major returned to Indianapolis after graduation and began to train with Jake O'Brien and Chris Lytle to stay active as he mulled over an offer to move to Colorado Springs to train at the Olympic Training Center with the World Team training camp.
