Fischer started his professional career in 2011. Within his first year as a professional, he won three consecutive matches and in 2012 signed with Bellator.

Bellator

Fischer made his debut on April 6, 2012 at Bellator 64 against Taylor Solomon. He won via technical submission in the third round.[4]

Fischer faced Kyle Prepolec on October 12, 2012 at Bellator 76.[5] He defeated Prepolec via submission in the third round.[6]

Fischer faced David Rickels on November 30, 2012 at Bellator 82. He was handed his first defeat via unanimous decision.[7]

Fischer was called to replace Alexander Sarnavskiy in the Season Eight Lightweight Tournament Semifinal due to a broken hand.[10] He faced David Rickels again on February 28, 2013 at Bellator 91. Fischer was defeated once again via unanimous decision.[11]
