Mixed martial arts career
editEarly career
editHougland started fighting professionally in 2002. He fought once for World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) at WEC 6 and lost to future Strikeforce Lightweight Champion Gilbert Melendez via second-round TKO. After losing his next fight, he won eight fights in a row. He then signed with the UFC.
Ultimate Fighting Championship
editHougland made his promotional debut at UFC 132 against fellow UFC newcomer Donny Walker.[2] Hougland showed off an excellent ground game with multiple submission attempts throughout all three rounds. Hougland won the fight via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27).[3]
Hougland's second UFC outing was expected to take place against Mike Easton on October 1, 2011, at UFC on Versus 6.[4] However, Hougland was forced out of the bout with an injury and replaced by Byron Bloodworth.[5]
Hougland was briefly linked to a bout against Renan Barão on July 7, 2012, at UFC 148.[6] However, Hougland served as a replacement for Mike Easton and faced Yves Jabouin on May 15, 2012, at UFC on Fuel TV: Korean Zombie vs. Poirier.[7] Hougland lost the fight via unanimous decision after getting dominated by Jabouin's superior standup.[8]
He was expected to face Takeya Mizugaki at UFC 151 on September 1, 2012.[9] However, after UFC 151 was cancelled, his bout with Mizugaki was rescheduled for November 10, 2012, at UFC on Fuel TV 6.[10] Hougland was dominated for all three rounds, losing via unanimous decision (30-25, 30-27, 30-27). Hougland was subsequently released from the promotion.[11]
