Darrill Schoonover (born June 18, 1985) is an American professional mixed martial artist. He was a cast member of Spike TV's The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights.
Background
Born in Texas, Darrill Schoonover began training in submission wrestling, kick boxing, judo and jiu jitsu at the age of 17.[1] At the age of 19, Schoonover joined the United States Army. He attended Central Texas College and put his history degree studies on hold in order to participate in The Ultimate Fighter. Shoonover was often made fun of during The Ultimate Fighter, by Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.
On the beginning of December 2009, Schoonover was called back to serve in active duty with the military but due to high blood pressure he was discharged.[2]
The Ultimate Fighter
Schoonover appeared on the tenth season of The Ultimate Fighter.[3] His first fight was against the last pick of the competition, Zak Jensen. He defeated Jensen after applying a triangle choke in the first round.
Schoonover was a notable target of Quinton Jackson, who subjected him to much verbal abuse throughout the season. Jackson's creation and repeated use of the nickname "Titties" eventually led to Schoonover challenging Jackson to a fight at 205 lb, amongst other heated confrontations.
In the quarterfinals, Schoonover was selected to fight the lone Team Rampage fighter, Marcus Jones and was defeated via knockout punch. He fought again in the UFC against James McSweeney at The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights Finale,[4] and got his first professional loss via technical knockout. Schoonover is a Specialist in the United States Army, and returned to active duty following the fight with McSweeney. After arriving at Ft Benning to under go the army physical he was found out to have high blood pressure and released from active duty and sent back to the Individual Ready Reserve.
At the conclusion of UFC 107, Schoonover was released from the UFC along with Kevin Burns, Edgar Garcia and Shane Nelson.
