This guy is really serie-worthy.
Early life
Means began training at the age of 12, as he was a troubled kid and was taken under the wing of a local trainer.
Trouble strikes
Means was involved in a shooting incident outside of a bar and suffered a nine-inch gunshot wound in the femoral artery of his thigh. Means was prescribed painkillers and morphine, and developed a morphine dependency. After Mean's prescriptions ran out, he began experimenting with methamphetamine.
4 years in prison
A few years after Means began using meth, he found himself in trouble with the law, and was charged with aggravated assault after punching a man who broke into his home. After serving the four-year prison sentence early in his MMA career, Means turned his life around.
Means began his MMA career in 2004, recording a 3-2 record before serving a prison sentence. After serving the four-year prison sentence early in his MMA career, Means turned his life around.
MMA return
Means returned to MMA in 2009 and reeled off six consecutive victories via first round stoppage, including a nine-second TKO win over Matt Green at KOTC: New Breed. He earned his first title at KOTC: Steel on Oct. 7, 2010 when he defeated Bobby Green to win the KOTC Junior Welterweight (160 lbs) belt.
He defended the belt on four occasions, most recently in a first-round TKO victory over Mario Ramos at KOTC: High Performance on Nov. 19, 2011. He added the KOTC Lightweight title with a victory over Tye Brown at KOTC: Total Destruction on Jan. 21, 2012.
UFC
Means made his UFC debut on February 15, 2012, defeating Bernardo Magalhaes by unanimous decision. After four fights he's 2-2 in the organisation but gets released.
Legacy FC
After his release from the UFC, Means was called to replace Danny Salinas in the main event against Pete Spratt on September 13, 2013, at Legacy FC 23. He won via first-round knockout.
Means then defeated Artenas Young in the first round at Legacy FC 27, on January 31, 2014.
UFC return
Fights seven times (5-2) only losing to Magny and Brown (both ranked top 10 at the moment). Means was pulled from the main card with Donald Cerrone as a result of a violation of the USADA anti-doping policy.
