Anthony Lapsley (born February 13, 1980) is an American professional mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. He is known for his fights in King of the Cage, and Bellator Fighting Championships. He is currently signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Background

Lapsley is a former Indiana State Wrestling Champion and a father of eight children.[1]

MMA career

Lapsley made his professional MMA debut in 2006. He quickly amassed an undefeated record of 7-0 before his first loss to Carlo Prater.

Lapsley has fought for a variety of promotions including ShoXC, HDNet Fights and King of the Cage, where he was the welterweight champion.

Bellator Fighting Championships

Lapsley made his Bellator debut in 2009 at Bellator 7 where he defeated Ryan Williams via submission.

In January 2011, Bellator announced that Lapsley will be replacing Steve Carl in the Bellator Season 4 Welterweight Tournament and he faced former UFC and Strikeforce veteran, Jay Hieron in the quarterfinals.[2] Lapsley lost via controversial stoppage when referee Josh Rosenthal stopped the bout, believing incorrectly that Lapsley was unconscious from a submission.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

In October 2013, it was announced that Lapsley had signed with the UFC. He is expected to make his debut against Jason High on November 16, 2013 at UFC 167.[3]
