Ian Entwistle (born 19 November 1986) is an English mixed martial artist who currently competes in the Bantamweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Background

Born and raised in Accrington, Lancashire, Entwistle competed in soccer on various levels as a youngster. Before he began training in martial arts, he briefly owned and operated a nightclub in Accrington.[2]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

After the culmination of his soccer career, Enwistle began training in mixed martial arts in 2008. He made his debut as a professional in 2010, competing as a featherweight for various regional promotions across England, including a stint in Cage Warriors. He was able to compile a record along the way of 8-1, and finished all of his opponents in the first round. After his finish of Liam James in December 2013, Entwistle moved from England to Phuket, Thailand in an attempt to further his career and enhance his Muay Thai skills.[3] He signed with the UFC in May 2014.[4]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Entwistle made his promotional debut on 28 June 2014 as he faced Dan Hooker at UFC Fight Night 43.[5] After threatening Hooker with several submission attempts, Entwistle lost the fight via TKO in the first round.[6]

Entwistle faced Anthony Birchak in a bantamweight bout on 13 December 2014 at UFC on Fox 13.[7] Entwistle won the fight via submission in the first round.[8] He was also awarded a Performance of the Night bonus.[9]

Entwistle was expected to face Marcus Brimage on 18 July 2015 at UFC Fight Night 72.[10] However, Entwistle pulled out of the fight in late June for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Jimmie Rivera.[11][12]

Entwistle faced Alejandro Pérez on April 10, 2016 at UFC Fight Night 86.[13] He lost the fight via TKO in the first round.[14]

After his second loss in UFC competition Entwistle was widely panned for his overly one dimensional fighting style that appears ineffective against those that possess even an elementary heel hook defence.[15] In addition his false protestations of "greasing" and lack of sportsmanship post his fight with Perez have made him one of the least popular fighters on the UFC roster and may see his future prospects as limited within the promotion.[16][17]
