Background

[edit]

Born in Auburn, Nebraska, and raised in Nebraska City, Minner wrestled at Nebraska City High School. He then continued wrestling at Iowa Western Community College.[5]

Mixed martial arts career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

A professional mixed martial artist since October 2012 and representing Glory MMA and Fitness, Darrick Minner compiled a 24–10 record through 34 professional fights, the wins being 21 submissions, one knockout, and two decisions, during his days fighting on the regional MMA scene.[6]

Dana White's Contender Series

[edit]

Minner was invited to participate on Dana White's Contender Series 23 on August 9, 2019. He faced Herbert Burns, losing the bout via first-round submission.[7]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

[edit]

Minner made his UFC debut as an injury replacement for Chas Skelly against Grant Dawson on February 29, 2020, at UFC Fight Night: Benavidez vs. Figueiredo.[8] At the weigh-ins, Dawson also failed to make weight, coming in at 149.5 pounds, 3.5 pounds over the featherweight non-title limit of 146 pounds. He was fined 30% of his fight purse, which went to Minner and the bout proceeded at a catchweight.[9] Minner lost the fight via a submission in round two.[10]

Minner was scheduled to fight a rematch with Jordan Griffin on June 13, 2020, at UFC Fight Night: Eye vs. Calvillo.[11] However, on the day prior to the event, Minner was pulled from the fight due to health issues surrounding his weight cut and the bout was cancelled.[12]

Minner faced T.J. Laramie on September 19, 2020, at UFC Fight Night: Covington vs. Woodley. He won the bout via guillotine choke in the first minute of the first round.[13]

Minner faced Charles Rosa on February 20, 2021, at UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Lewis.[14] He won the fight via unanimous decision.[15]

Minner faced Darren Elkins on July 24, 2021, at UFC on ESPN: Sandhagen vs. Dillashaw.[16] He lost the fight via a technical knockout in round two.[17]

Having fought out his previous contract, Minner signed a new four-fight deal and faced Ryan Hall on December 11, 2021, at UFC 269.[18][19] He lost the bout via unanimous decision.[20]

Minner was scheduled to face Damon Jackson on June 4, 2022, at UFC Fight Night 207.[21] However, for undisclosed reasons, Minner was pulled from the event and he was replaced by newcomer Daniel Argueta.[22]

Last fight in the UFC, suspension and investigations

[edit]

Minner faced Shayilan Nuerdanbieke on November 5, 2022, at UFC Fight Night 214.[23] He lost the fight via technical knockout in the first round after seemingly injuring his knee seconds into the bout.[24]

On December 2, 2022, Minner was released from the UFC amid an investigation into suspicious betting patterns that occurred in his previous fight against Shayilan Nuerdanbieke.[25] Subsequently, both Minner and his coach James Krause were indefinitely suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for failing to disclose the injury Minner had sustained prior the fight.[26]

Personal life

[edit]

Minner and his wife Jordyn have three daughters, Brixtyn, Brogyn and Brynn.[27][3] His younger brothers Brady[28] and Brett[29] are also MMA fighters, mostly with the Omaha-based promotion Dynasty Combat Sports.
