Mixed martial arts career
Early career
Winner was born in St. George's, Grenada to a British father and an Afro-Caribbean mother, and moved to Leicester, England at seven years old. He started in sports during his high school years, competing in football and other athletics. Winner never thought of being a mixed martial artist but loved sports. He went to self-defense classes at Leicester Shootfighters and met Dan Hardy and Paul Daley.[1] Hardy inspired Winner to give the sport a real try.
Winner tried out for the eighth season of the Ultimate Fighter. He did not make the cut but tried out for the ninth season and made the show.[2]
The Ultimate Fighter
To get into The Ultimate Fighter house, Winner fought Gary Kelly. Winner won by knockout while working Kelly in the clinch. Winner then flew to Las Vegas to compete under coach Michael Bisping against the U.S. team. He advanced to the semifinals of the lightweight tournament after defeating Santino Defranco by TKO in the first round. Winner then had his last fight on the show defeating Cameron Dollar by submission in round one. The win over Dollar put Winner in the finals to fight teammate, Ross Pearson.
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Winner fought Ross Pearson at The Ultimate Finale 9 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Winner lost by unanimous decision along with losing the six-figure contract. He defeated Rolando Delgado via first round knockout on November 14, 2009, at UFC 105.[3]
Winner was scheduled to face Cole Miller on March 31, 2010 at UFC Fight Night 21.[4] However, Miller was forced off the card after suffering an injury.[5] Rafaello Oliveira was later confirmed as his replacement.[6] Winner defeated Rafaello Oliveira via unanimous decision.
At UFC 118, Winner's fight was selected to be a part of the SpikeTV broadcast.[7] He fought Nik Lentz, losing via unanimous decision after being out wrestled for three full rounds.
