Andre Eugene Ewell (born January 21, 1988)[1] is an American mixed martial artist. He competed in the Featherweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). He also competed for Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES MMA) and is a former CES MMA Bantamweight Champion.[5]

Background

Ewell, who is a Riverside, California native, excelled in football and track and field at Arlington High School. He was offered a full scholarship to go to University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) after his graduated from high school. However, due to his poor grades, he went to a community college instead. During his college year, inspired by Roy Jones Jr., he picked up boxing and wanted to pursue it as a career but his first few boxing matches results were disappointing. During this time, his son, Eli, was born, and due to the falling out with his child's mother and was denied for custody of his son. Ewell transitioned to mixed martial arts, hoping he could find success in the sport and could prove to the court he has value and he could be the financial provider for his son.[6][7][8]

It's my son. Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I'm doing this for my son. I literally went bankrupt just trying to fight to be in my son’s life. I had a hard year of not being in the fight and working to be in his life. Everything I had and was making was going straight to my son, but it's my son. It got to that moment that I had to do something that I honestly love, and my son’s going to grow up watching that and seeing that not only am I great at it, but it's all for him.[9]
