[edit] Mixed Martial Arts
Harris stumbled into Mixed Martial Arts by accident when his first fight was an exhibition bout that was just something a friend convinced him to do for fun. He beat his opponent so badly that he was invited to join the tournament and thus his professional fighting career began in August 2006. Harris won his first three matches before losing a controversial split decision to Fabio Leopoldo in his International Fight League debut.
