Carlos Newton was born in Anguilla a tiny Caribbean territory by Puerto Rico. Carlos grew interest at a very young age into Judo and Karate. He attended Westview Centennial Secondary School in Toronto,Canada where lawlessness and gangs were common, thus making Carlos fend for himself. From there he participated in numerous Jiu-Jitsu and BJJ tournaments locally and abroad including the Abu Dahbi tournament. In 1996 he attended Warrior MMA which was headed by Terry Riggs out of Ontario. It was from here Carlos would expand his skills, and enter the "newborn" field of MMA. On April 26th 1996 Carlos Newton at the age of 19 would face his very first opponent at Extreme Fighting 2, his opponent was Jean Riviere a man who outweight Carlos by 100 pounds (260-162). Carlos would lose the match after 7 minutes from exhaustion, but would immediately become a fan favorite for fighting such a bigger man. He would enter the UFC in 1998 in a one night Middleweight tournament and would lose to another MMA legend, Dan Henderson by split decision in the final. he would go on to fight memorable matches, especially against Pride FC legend Kazushi Sakuarab in a grappling extraordinaire, he loses by knee bar. However, he would find "gold" by beating Pat Militech for the UFC Welterwieght Championship at UFC 31 in 2001. He would go on to have an up and down career, filled with fascinating matches with eye glistening wizardry in submissions. He would finally retire from MMA in 2010. Carlos Newton nows resides in Newmarket,Ontario and coaches at Warrior MMA.
