Hunter "Spike" Schuppisser Carlyle[1] (born May 6, 1993) is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the Featherweight and Lightweight divisions of Bellator MMA. He is most well known for his time spent fighting in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Background

Carlyle started doing karate when he was four years old, and later began wrestling when he was 12. He wrestled for about four years and then started jiu-jitsu. When he was 15, he fell in love with Pride FC and Japanese MMA, which inspired him to become an MMA fighter.[5]
