Background[edit]

Born in Redford, Michigan and raised in Livonia, Michigan, a suburb outside of Detroit, Fischer competed in wrestling at Livonia Stevenson High School. Fischer later continued his career at Central Michigan University.[1]

Mixed martial arts career[edit]

Early career[edit]

Fischer started his professional career in 2011. Within his first year as a professional, he won three consecutive matches and in 2012 signed with Bellator.

Bellator[edit]

Fischer made his debut on April 6, 2012 at Bellator 64 against Taylor Solomon. He won via technical submission in the third round.[3]

Fischer was called to replace Alexander Sarnavskiy in the Season Eight Lightweight Tournament Semifinal due to a broken hand.[9] He faced David Rickels again on February 28, 2013 at Bellator 91. Fischer was defeated once again via unanimous decision.[10]

Fischer faced Tony Hervey on September 12, 2014 at Bellator 124. Fischer won via unanimous decision.[11]
