Carlos "The Ronin" Newton

Brief History
Carlos Newtons been on a slide for awhile now but that dosn't mean this Canadian fighter hasn't made a new for him self in the MMA world. At one time Carlos even held the Welterweight Title before his meeting with Matt Hughes. What happened in the final moments of that fight is still unclear and up for debate amoungst MMA fans. Newton had Hughes in a triangle choke as Hughes lifted him up agaisnt the top bar of the cage in effort to break the hold. After awhile Hughes slide downwards in what at first glance would look like a last effort powerbomd and KO'd Newton as his head slammed on the mat. A seemingly clueless Hughes toke his time getting to his feet before relising that he had won the title. Post fight Carlos claimed that Hughes had gone limp and passed out in the choke which resulted in the KO from him lossing balance.

Since then Newton hasn't recovered to his former self but Newton keeps active by coaching the IFL Dragons.
