Edward Faaloloto (born July 15, 1985) is an American professional mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. Faaloloto has fought for the UFC and WEC has gone 0-3 overall in both promotions.

Early life

Faaloloto was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, but moved to Long Beach, California as an infant.[1] There he was raised by his grandparents until the age of 10. Faaloloto believed his grandparents were his birth parents until his grandfather had a stroke and told Faaloloto about his real mother in Hawaii. Soon after, Faaloloto moved back to Hawaii and was reunited with his mother and half-siblings.[1]

After graduating high school, Faaloloto joined the United States Navy. He spent five years in the service, originally, based out of San Diego, California working as a bosun's mate. He was then transferred to Hawaii to work as an admiral's bodyguard. He ended his time in the service in October 2008 to pursue a career in fighting.[1] Aside from the Navy and MMA, Faaloloto is enrolled in Kapiolani Community College, pursing a career as an English teacher.[1]

Mixed Martial Arts Career

Background

At 15, Faaloloto began training martial arts at a local Kajukembo dojo in Hawaii under Paul Padilla. Faaloloto did not start fighting until his time enlisted in the Navy, taking amateur bouts throughout San Diego.[1]

Faaloloto made his professional debut in 2009, fighting for Hawaii's X-1 MMA. He defeated Taylor Cochran via unanimous decision in a welterweight bout. Six months later Faaloloto again fought for X-1 MMA, defeating Justin Babbs via kimura only 49 seconds into round one.

In 2010 Faaloloto signed with the World Extreme Cagefighting, also known as the WEC.

World Extreme Cagefighting

Faaloloto dropped down to the lightweight division to make his WEC debut against Anthony Njokuani. The fight took place at WEC 52 on November 11, 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada.[2] Faaloloto was defeated via TKO nearing the end of round 2.

In October 2010, World Extreme Cagefighting merged with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As part of the merger, all WEC fighters were transferred to the UFC.[3]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Due to the WEC/UFC merger, Faaloloto was transferred into the UFC. On June 26, 2011 he made his debut at UFC Live: Kongo vs. Barry against The Ultimate Fighter 12 runner-up, Michael Johnson.[4] Faaloloto was defeated via TKO in round one.

In his sophomore outing for the UFC, Faaloloto faced Terry Etim on November 5, 2011 at UFC 138.[5] Faaloloto was defeated by Etim via gullotine choke 17 seconds into the first round.

After going 0-3, Faaloloto was subsequently released from the promotion.

Personal life

In high school, Faaloloto was shot in the hand while at a party. He was also stabbed in the arm fighting off two muggers on a different night.[1] Faaloloto has a daughter.[1] He is currently dating Jessilyn Felarca.
