Mixed martial arts career

Early career

George made his professional MMA debut in April 2005.

WEC

In his WEC debut, George defeated John Hosman at WEC 45 on December 19, 2009 via unanimous decision.

In his second fight for the promotion, George faced Scott Jorgensen at WEC 47, on March 6, 2010.[2] George lost via a standing guillotine choke submission in the first round.

George next faced Antonio Banuelos at WEC 51 on September 30, 2010.[3] George lost the fight by decision and was subsequently released from his contract with Zuffa, LLC after the UFC/WEC merger in December 2010.

Post-WEC

George would later return to competitive fighting with a submission win over Bobby Sanchez at BAMMA USA: Badbeat 2 on June 11, 2011. In December 2011, George traveled to New Zealand to compete against native champion and now UFC flyweight contender, Kai Kara-France, at The Cage 2; George won with a first-round KO.

Bellator MMA

George made his debut for Bellator MMA on April 10, 2015 at Bellator 136. George faced Mark Vorgeas and won the fight via technical submission in the first round. The fight is notable as Vorgeas went unconscious during a submission, George notices this and refused to punch his opponent instead choosing to argue with the referee until the referee noticed that Vorgeas was indeed unconscious.[4]
