Chris Haseman (born 2 June 1969 in Brisbane, Queensland) is an Australian mixed martial artist and professional wrestler. Haseman is currently signed with RINGS and is a longtime veteran of the promotion (1995 - 2012). Regarded as a pioneer of MMA in Australia he competed in Australia's first MMA show along with events such as the UFC and the World Fighting Alliance.

Biography

Haseman took part in RINGS's 2000 King of Kings tournament. He fought Tsuyoshi Kohsaka in the first round, almost finishing the fight with an armbar, but he was defeated by Kohsaka by unanimous decision at the end. Chris, however, won the special match of the tournament, submitting Brad Koholer by ambar from the bottom in 1:11.

He returned at the next edition of the tournament, being pitted first against Carlson Gracie trainee Carlos Barreto. The bout was primarily fought on the feet, with Barreto having the reach advantage and cutting Haseman on his forehead with a punch, and later Haseman returning the favour with a right hook which downed the Brazilian. At the end, Haseman won by unanimous decision after controlling the last round. Haseman next faced professional wrestler Yoshihisa Yamamoto, but the match turned into an upset when the latter, who had been consistently dominated except by an armbar attempt, hit several glancing leg kicks which damaged Haseman's leg. Chris lost by KO and was eliminated.

Chris later competed against world class fighters such as Fedor Emelianenko, Evan Tanner and Matt Hughes and retired after losing to Canadian Bill Mahood in Spartan Reality Fight series 9 in 2004. Four years later in 2008, he returned to the sport and earned an 18-second knockout win over Japanese Yuji Hisamatsu.

Haseman was scheduled to return to the octagon in 2010 for a rematch against Elvis Sinosic at UFC 110, the first UFC event to be held in Australia.[1] However, just a day before the fight, Sinosic was forced to withdraw with a shoulder injury.[2]
