Background

[edit]

Proctor was born in Quincy, Massachusetts, but raised in Pembroke, Massachusetts. He attended the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.

Early career

[edit]

Proctor held an amateur record of 5-1 before starting his professional career in August 2008, winning his first fight by decision. Over the next three years he amassed a record of 7-1.[3]

The Ultimate Fighter

[edit]

Proctor was one of 32 Lightweight fighters announced by the UFC to participate in first live season of The Ultimate Fighter reality show.[4]

Proctor won his way into the house when he defeated Jordan Rinaldi by a guillotine choke submission in the first round.[5] With that victory, he was chosen as the fourth pick by Team Faber.

Proctor won his next match against Team Cruz's seventh pick, Chris Tickle. He defeated Tickle with a rear-naked choke submission near the end of the first round, gaining entry into the quarter-finals.[6]

For his quarter-final fight, Proctor was matched up with striking specialist James Vick. Proctor was unable to take Vick down in the fight and was outmatched on the feet. Proctor lost the fight by unanimous decision after the second round, thus eliminating him from the competition.[7]
