Biography and career

K-1 career

Lighty made his K-1 debut as a tournament reserve fighter on the August, 2004 K-1 card in Las Vegas, NV scoring a second round knockout over Frank Cota. In 2005 he finished as a runner-up at "Mayhem At The Mirage" tournament. He knocked out Tatsufumi Tomihira by a high kick in quarterfinals and beat Chalid Arrab by an unanimous decision in semis. In the final bout, Lighty remained on his feet, but took a considerable amount of punishement from the Russian kickboxer Ruslan Karaev and lost the fight after three rounds of action.

Mixed martial arts career

After 2007, there were not a lot of K-1 fights held in the U.S and Lighty decided to switch from kickboxing to MMA. He made his pro debut on the reality show "TapouT" and won that battle by verbal submission in the first round over Derek Thornton. In his next fight, Lighty fought Antwain Britt at Strikeforce: Evolution. Lighty lost via TKO (doctor stoppage) after round 1.
