Homer Moore

Homer Moore (born November 12, 1971) is an American retired former professional mixed martial artist who competed as a Light Heavyweight for the UFC, WEC, and Chicago Red Bears of the IFL.

Background Moore won the 1992 National Junior College Athletic Association NJCAA Collegiate Championship effortlessly. His background wrestling at Phoenix College gave him rise above his competition. Moore's Champion Stat is now part of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Having a record of this magnitude clones other major sports at their pinnacle.

In 2014 Homer Moore was arrested for the 1999 murder of a man in a drug deal robbery gone wrong. Lt. Michael Pooley, a Tempe police spokesman, said in a news conference that "Moore liked to talk" and would brag about murdering a man at bars and to random people, who told police what they'd heard.

Mixed martial arts career Moore reached nearly 100 fights in his MMA career. He was a resident athlete at the United States Olympic Training Center in the mid '90s. Subsequently, Homer pursued other fighting opportunities and engaged in the Mixed Martial Arts arena. During Moore's transition, he won 10 straight fights over a 3-year period.

Although injured during his training for the fight, Moore preceded with his first professional fight in the UFC against UFC Middleweight Champion Evan Tanner in UFC 34 - High Voltage. This resulted in a defeat by submission armbar. During Moore's debut fight in the IFL, out of Chicago, Illinois, he fought against jiu-jitsu expert Allan Goes.

Ultimate XARM World Heavyweight Championship In January 2009, Moore was the first ever to be titled the Ultimate World Heavyweight Champion of Art Davie XARM. The competitors who participated in this tournament came from a variety of fighting backgrounds that included arm wrestling, football, kickboxing, mixed-martial arts and weightlifting. The winner's objective of this sport was to pin his opponent's arm, knock him out or make him submit.

Moore was also recognized as the "Best Fighter" under XARM's "Best of 2008 Awards".
