What happened to Ian Entwistle??

[EatMyShorts]

Always a fan of leg locks but - this dudes career...

What the hell?

I know he's not hugely well known but - had three fights in the UFC.

Moved to Thailand to become a full time professional - missed weight after a loss where he couldn't finish a heel hook - then disappeared.

There's not that many guys that really chase the heel hooks - he was one of them.

I'm looking for the Eddie Cummings of mma - and I can tell you right now it won't be Gary Tonon.

Anyone know - what became of this guy?

"Entwistle was expected to face Brett Johns on 18 March 2017 at UFC Fight Night 107.[17] Entwistle missed weight at the weigh ins coming in at 139lbs, 3lbs over the bantamweight limit of 136lbs. He forfeited 20% of his fight purse to his opponent. The following day, Entwistle's medical clearance was revoked following a trip the hospital and the bout was canceled.[18]

In May 2017, Entwistle was released from the company and later announced his retirement from MMA competition."

cut

From what I remember, he nearly killed himself cutting weight and called it a day, since the sport wasn't worth dying over.

Btw what happened with Johnny Hollywood Case? He’s a LW and had a few good fights, liked his style.

forgot about him. after getting cut by the ufc, he was supposed to fight on march 10 for extreme beatdown (a north dakota mma promotion), but that fight never materialized.

I tend to agree.

There's more than meets the eye in this situation.

Alejandro Perez made him rethink his life.

All talent.

No character.

I just watched back his fights.

I'm pretty sure actually - he didn't know how to finish a heel hook properly.
