[edit] MMA career
Spratt made his MMA debut in early 1999 when he defeated Jeremiah O'Neal by submission (rear naked choke) in the first round. He then won 9 of his next 14 fights including a win over MMA veteran Rich Clementi to bring his Mixed Martial Arts record to 10-5 before receiving his first call up to the UFC.
He made his debut for the promotion at UFC 37.5 against Zach Light. Spratt defeated Light by via first round armbar submission.
Spratt was then defeated by former UFC welterweight champion Carlos Newton at UFC 40 before picking up arguably the best win of his mixed martial arts career at UFC 42 defeating Robbie Lawler by submission (injury) in the second round.
After defeating Lawler, Spratt was offered a shot at the UFC welterweight title. However, Spratt did not feel he was ready to fight reigning champion Matt Hughes, and turned down the offer and was subsequently released from the promotion.[2]
[edit] The Ultimate Fighter
He was one of the cast members of The Ultimate Fighter 4, which unlike every other season of the show featured past veterans from the UFC. Although he lost both of his exhibition fights, he was featured on the season finale, defeating Jeremy Jackson by submission (due to neck injury). Spratt then returned to the Octagon at UFC 69 where he was defeated by Marcus Davis. His last fight in the UFC was against Tamdan McCrory at UFC Fight Night 10 where he lost via triangle choke.
[edit] Post UFC
Ever since being cut from the UFC, Spratt has fought on regional shows, where his submission defense has been exposed on many occasions, while also picking up some impressive wins mainly due to his strong stand-up skills and heavy hands.
Most notably, Spratt has fought in the Canadian regional promotion Maximum Fighting Championship where he made his debut at MFC 15: Rags to Riches losing to Ryan Ford via rear naked choke. He then returned to the promotion over a year later at MFC 22: Payoff where he defeated Nathan Gunn via knockout in the second round.
Spratt next fought Keith Wisniewski on 2 January 2010 losing via submission (rear naked choke) in the first round but he bounced back in his third fight with the MFC promotion by defeating UFC veteran Luigi Fioravanti via TKO in the third round. In this fight Spratt showed improved takedown defense and ground game.
Spratt was then submitted in his next two fights losing first by guillotine choke to Eric Davila at Shark Fights 13: Jardine vs Prangley before being defeated by Ryan Ford for the second time in their rematch at MFC 25: Vindication via rear naked choke.
Spratt faced Demi Deeds on 8 April 2011 at MFC 29: Conquer. After a close first round, Spratt turned up the pressure in the second landing some strong leg kicks and punches until he got on top of Deeds late in the round before quickly transitioning to an impressive armbar finish to gain his first win in almost a year.
Spratt faced Marcus Davis at MFC 30, replacing an injured Richie Whitson. This will be a rematch of their first encounter, which Davis won by submission at UFC 69. He lost the fight via unanimous decision
On July 22, 2011, at 40 years of age, Spratt racked up his fastest knockout to date, defeating Antonio FLores with a clean overhand left only 18 seconds into the opening round.
[edit] Personal life
Spratt and his wife had a daughter on March 25, 2008.[3] He has two daughters, Ashlee and De' Andra, from a previous relationship.[4]
