Travis Lutter - The Serial Killer

Travis “The Serial Killer” Lutter was born on May 12th, 1973 in Fort Worth, Texas. Travis opened his MMA career by appearing on Spike TV’s The Ultimate Fighter 4 television show. He defeated Pete Sell in the semi-final founds before facing off against and defeating Canadian heavyweight fighter Patrick Cote to win the show and a six-figure multi-fight contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

One of the bigger perks that came with the win on The Ultimate Fighter was a guarteed title match against the then-UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva. February 3rd, 2007 brought both fighters together for the pre-fight weigh-in. Lutter’s first attempt weighed him at 187 pounds, two pounds above the 185 that was needed to make the weight class. After a second attempt two hours later that registered him at 186.5, UFC management kept the scheduled bout but reduced it to a three round non-title fight. With many upset fans and spectators, Lutter went on to lose the fight anyway, falling to a combination of strikes and a triangle choke in the second round. UFC management quickly announced that Lutter would not receive a make-up title match automatically; he had blown his chance.
