Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog

Scott Holtzman (born September 30, 1983)[4] is an American former mixed martial artist Who most recently competed in the lightweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. A professional from 2012 to 2022, he formerly competed for the Xtreme Fighting Championships, where he was the Lightweight Champion.

Background

[edit]

Holtzman was born in Knoxville, Tennessee and spent his childhood in Fountain City. He attended Central High School, where he played football and baseball. During high school, he also played ice hockey with the Knoxville Amateur Hockey Association.[5] After high school, Holtzman attended Hiwassee College, where he played baseball and earned an associate degree in Business Administration.[1][6] He transferred from Hiwassee to the University of Tennessee, where he played club hockey and earned a bachelor's degree in sociology.[1] In 2008–09, Holtzman enjoyed a brief stint playing for the Knoxville Ice Bears.[1]

Mixed martial arts career

[edit]

Holtzman began his professional mixed martial arts career in 2009. He compiled an undefeated amateur record of 4–0, with his final match earning him a contract with the Xtreme Fighting Championships (XFC).[7] In his professional debut, Holtzman defeated Brandon Demastes by rear-naked choke at XFC16: High Stakes in front of a home crowd in Knoxville, Tennessee. He would decidedly win his next two fights against Matt Metts (XFC 18: Music City Mayhem) and Chris Coggins (XFC 20: High Octane) each in the first round by KO/TKO stoppage respectively.[8]

XFC Lightweight Title

[edit]

Holtzman opened up 2013 with a win by unanimous decision against Jason Hicks in a title eliminating match at XFC 22: Crossing The Line.[8] After his match with Hicks, Holtzman was expected to face, then XFC Lightweight champion, Nick Newell for the Lightweight belt. In May 2013, it was reported that Newell had refused to fight Holtzman. According to XFC president, John Prisco, Newell was hoping to face former UFC fighters in order to make his claim to move up into the UFC. Prisco, however, felt that Holtzman had "earned the right" to face Newell for the title.[9] Since Newell refused to fight Holtzman, Prisco stripped Newell of his belt and paired Holtzman against John Mahlow to compete for the vacated Lightweight belt at XFC 24: Collision Course. On June 14, 2013, Holtzman beat Mahlow by TKO (punches) in the second round to win the XFC Lightweight Title.[8]

Holtzman quickly had the opportunity to defend his title at XFC 26: Night of Champions III, where he won by unanimous decision against Roger Carroll.[8] After a hiatus due in part to a lack of reputable opponents and the XFC's focus on their new international partnerships, Holtzman secured a fight outside of the XFC against George Sheppard at the Premier Fighting Championships (PFC) 9: Unstoppable.[10] Holtzman would go on to win by unanimous decision.[8]
