Mearion Shonie Bickhem III[1], also known as "Mr. International" Shonie Carter, (born May 3, 1972 in Chicago, Illinois) is a mixed martial arts fighter who was featured as a welterweight on The Ultimate Fighter 4 and is well known to fight in the 170, 185, and 205 weight classes in his career and his great experiences as a fighter with a record of 81-16-7. His UFC record is 3-3, winning fights against Brad Gumm at UFC 24, Adrian Serrano at UFC 26, and Matt Serra at UFC 31, and losing fights to Pat Miletich at UFC 32 and Nathan Quarry at UFC 53. He defeated Gumm and Serrano by unanimous decision, and knocked out Serra with nine seconds left in that fight. He was knocked out by Miletich at 2:42 in the second round, and lost to Quarry by TKO (strikes) at 2:27 of the first round.
On The Ultimate Fighter 4, Carter defeated Rich Clementi in the opening round of the competition, but lost to Matt Serra in the semifinals in a rematch requested by Serra. Unlike most of the other cast members, Shonie Carter did not fight at the live finale.
During the show, much was made of Carter's flamboyant personality and dress.
Additionally, considerable emphasis was placed on his patented strike-the spinning back fist. Carter had used the move to knock out Serra in their first fight, and the show depicted both Serra focusing on defending against the attack and Carter claiming that he could hit it from anywhere. In the end, Carter did successfully connect with the spinning back fist, though not to the knock-out effect that he had previously.
Carter's last fight was at UFC Fight Night 7 where he lost to Marcus Davis via unanimous decision.
