Darren "The Dentist" Stewart (born December 30, 1990) is a British mixed martial artist. Stewart currently fights in Middleweight division in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).[3]

Background

Stewart was born in Poplar East London, England. His father was from Jamaica and his mother was from St Vincent. Encouraged by his mum, Stewart started MMA training at 13 for self-defense due to the crime rate was high in London with the youth during that time.[3] His friend Regan Lawrence was at The MMA Clinic at that time and invited him to try on MMA, even though his initial thought was "I’m not doing that crap, cage fighting. I’ve seen the blood on TV. No way", but he eventually found MMA full contact striking exciting,[4] and thrived where he competed in the UK and abroad.[1]

Stewart works as a full-time correction officer for the Crown Court in London Bridge.[1]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Stewart fought most of the fights in England and picked up seven consecutive wins with five by knockout before signed by UFC.[5] He was the former Killacam light heavy weight champion in England.[6]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Light Heavyweight

Stewart made his promotional debut on September 17, 2016, at UFC Fight Night: Bader vs. Nogueira 2 against Francimar Barroso at São Paulo, Brazil. Stewart was initially declared the winner of the fight via TKO,[7] but the decision was overturned by Comissao Atletica Brasileira de MMA (CABMMA), after an appeal from Borroso,[8] as a result from an accidental head butt prior Stewart rained down a series of heavy punches. The bout was finally declared as no contest.[9][10] Calling for a rematch when UFC would return to London,[2] Stewart was displeased with the CABMMA decision[11] and commented "The entire situation stinks. I put a lot of time and money into this fight, won the fight, and his mates at the Brazilian MMA Commission overturned the decision. Fighting a Brazilian in Brazil is something that every fighter should think very strongly about. Had I lost and made an appeal to the Brazil commission, I doubt it would be overturned because I’m not from Brazil.”[12][11]

The match with Francimar Barroso was rescheduled on March 18, 2017, at UFC Fight Night: Manuwa vs. Anderson.[13] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[14]

Middleweight

After losing to Barroso on March 2017, Stewar announced he would compete in the middleweight division.[15]

Stewart faced Karl Roberson on November 11, 2017 at UFC Fight Night: Poirier vs. Pettis.[16][17] He lost the fight via submission in the first round.[18]

Stewart faced promotional newcomer Julian Marquez on December 16, 2017 at UFC on Fox 26.[19] He lost the back-and-forth bout via submission in the second round.[20] Even thought he lost the fight, he was awarded the Fight of the Night bonus award.[21]

Personal life

Stewart's moniker "The Dentist" was referred to this opponents whereby "“He (his opponent) is just another patient who's gonna get drilled”.[22]

Stewart is an avid dancer where he was a former student of contemporary dance, ballet and street dance for The General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) in England. He was also a salsa dancing champion.[1]

Steward lives in Barking, London with his fiancee Katherine, an Ecuadorian, and their son Marlon.[1]
