Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog

Todd Labanes Moore (born December 30, 1983) is an American retired professional mixed martial artist. A professional competitor from 2005 until 2014, Moore fought in the WEC, Strikeforce, Titan FC, Legacy FC, and DREAM.

Background[edit]

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Moore competed in wrestling for the inaugural team at Klein Forest High School and was talented. Without including Freestyle or Greco-Roman seasons, Moore compiled an overall record of 147–52.[2] After graduating, Moore began training in mixed martial arts at the age of 18, learning Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and would earn his black belt eight and a half years later under Vinicius Magalhaes.[3]

Mixed martial arts career[edit]

Early career[edit]

Moore compiled an undefeated amateur record of 7-0 before turning professional in 2005.[2] Moore continued to dominate in the regional circuit, holding an undefeated record of 10-0 before being signed by the WEC.

WEC[edit]

Moore made his promotional debut at WEC 31 on December 12, 2007, against John Alessio. Moore was defeated via unanimous decision and was handed his first professional loss.

Moore made his next appearance at WEC 35 on August 3, 2008, in a Lightweight bout against Shane Roller. Moore was defeated via guillotine choke submission in the first round and was subsequently released from the promotion.

DREAM[edit]

After leaving the WEC, Moore signed with DREAM in Japan. Moore faced Japanese submission specialist Shinya Aoki at DREAM 6 on September 23, 2008, and was defeated via neck crank submission in the first round.

Strikeforce[edit]

Moore soon bounced back, however, winning three of his next four fights before being signed to a four-fight deal by Strikeforce.[4]

Moore made his promotional debut at Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum on June 18, 2011, against Mike Bronzoulis. Moore won via unanimous decision.

Moore made his next appearance against Jason High on September 23, 2011, at Strikeforce Challengers: Larkin vs. Rossborough. Moore was defeated via unanimous decision.

Moore has since compiled a record of 2–1, with his most recent fight being a TKO loss to Bellator veteran Ricardo Tirloni on August 15, 2014.
