Marion Reneau (born June 20, 1977) is a professional mixed martial artist currently competing as a Bantamweight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. When Marion Reneau is not fighting she is a PE teacher at Farmersville High School.[4]

Mixed martial arts career

Reneau began her professional mixed martial arts career in 2010. After winning several professional fights she attempted to try out for The Ultimate Fighter 18. However, she was allegedly told by UFC brass that she was too old to be a contestant on the show, but to keep pressing on and to win a couple of more fights. On the heels of her submission victory over Maureen Riordan in July 2014 at Resurrection Fighting Alliance 16, she was signed by the UFC.[4][5]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Reneau faced Alexis Dufresne on January 3, 2015 at UFC 182.[6] Reneau won the fight via unanimous decision. At the post fight press conference, Dana White made a point to mention the TUF snub and publicly praised her performance.[7]

Reneau faced Jéssica Andrade on February 22, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 61.[8] Reneau won the fight via first round submission, earning a Performance of the Night bonus.[9][10]

Reneau faced Holly Holm on July 15, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 71.[11] She lost the fight by unanimous decision.

Reneau faced Ashlee Evans-Smith on February 21, 2016 at UFC Fight Night: Cowboy vs. Cowboy. She lost the fight by split decision.[12] The judges' decision was controversial as 16 of the 17 media sources scoring the fight scored it for Reneau. [13] She plans to appeal the decision with the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission. [14]
