Career

Paul Varelans made his UFC debut on July 14, 1995 at Ultimate Fighting Championship 6: Clash of the Titans.

On June 22, 1996 at ECW's Hardcore Heaven event, Paul Varelans faced and was choked out by ECW star Taz, in what was promoted as a "shoot fight". Despite being promoted as a legitimate shoot fight, Varelans agreed to lose via submission.[1] In her book, Missy Hyatt claims that Varelans agreed to lose if she gave him a blow job afterwards, but Hyatt refused saying that she did not "blow jobbers".[2] After this, Varelans supposedly became irrational and tore up the locker room.[3]
