Eric Reynolds (born March 17, 1986 in Bradenton, Florida) is an American professional mixed martial arts fighter. Reynolds is most known for his stint in Bellator Fighting Championships, fighting in its lightweight division.
Mixed martial arts career
Reynolds made his debut for Bellator Fighting Championships, competing in their lightweight division tournament. Eric had his first fight in the tournament against Thomas Schulte. Reynolds ended up defeating Thomas via TKO at the end of the first round. Reynolds's second fight in the tournament was against number three lightweight fighter, Eddie Alvarez, the bout was at Bellator 5. In the start of the third round, Reynolds gave up his back and was submitted by rear naked choke.[1]
Reynolds fought Jorge Masvidal at Bellator 12, both fighters agreed to a catchweight bout of 160 lbs.[2] Reynolds lost after a third round rear naked choke submission.
He fought Greg Loughran at the event Art of Fighting: Sauer vs. Cruz and won via TKO in the first round.
On October 17, he fought one of Peru's top unsigned fighters, Ivan Iberico at Night of Battle 1. The fight was back and forth with Reynolds showing great submission defense after being put into numerous submission holds. The fight end with Eric knocking out Iberico with a down kick that the referee as well as the crowd thought was an illegal stomp. The crowd was not pleased by Reynold's move and began booing and throwing items into the cage.[3]
Eric was in talks with the Japan based promotion, DREAM. However, for unknown reasons a contract never materialized. He then moved out to Coconut Creek, Florida to train full-time with the American Top Team. He also defeated IFL vet, Travis Cox, at Art of Fighting 8 in May.[4] On December 4, 2010, Reynolds was scheduled to fight Korean fighter, Seung Hwan Bang, but Bang was forced out of the bout. He was replaced by UFC veteran Rob Emerson. Reynolds lost the fight by split decision in a fight that most thought Reynolds won.
Eric most recently has seen success in XFC cage accumulating 3 straight wins. Since signing his XFC contract Eric has faced top opponents like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt Jonatas Novaes, American Top Team striking coach Luciano Dos Santos and Blackzilian team member Lorenzo Borgomeo. Eric fought Nick Newell for the vacant XFC lightweight championship belt on December 7, 2012 in Nashville, TN. He was submitted in the first round via rear naked choke.
