MMA UK’s Featured Fighter Friday #5 : Andre Winner

Andre WinnerTo kick off the first of our FFF (Featured Fighter Friday) articles is Andre Winner. Featured Fighter Friday is something new that we at MMA UK are going to be bringing you with a detailed insight into a different UK MMA fighter ever week.

Andre Winner, born on the 9th November 1981, is a British MMA fighter of Grenadian origin. Winner was born in Grenada by a British father and Afro-Carribean mother. He moved to Leicester, England at the age of 7. At school, Winner was very athletic and involved in various sports. He never had his eyes set on becoming a mixed martial artist. Winner began self defense classes at Leicester Shootfighters where he met other MMA stars, Dan Hardy and Paul Daley.

Winner attempted to get on the 8th season of The Ultimate Fighter but failed. He then tried again for 9th season and successfully got on the show. To get into The Ultimate Fighter house, Winner fought Gary Kelly. Winner won by knockout while working Kelly in the clinch. Winner then flew to Las Vegas to compete under coach Michael Bisping against the US team. He advanced to the semifinals of the lightweight tournament after defeating Santino Defranco by TKO in the first round. Winner then had his last fight on the show defeating Cameron Dollar by submission in round one. The win over Dollar put Winner in the finals to fight teammate, Ross Pearson.
