Chris grew up in Portland with his two siblings raised by a single mother working long hours as a waitress to support her children. He didn’t meet his father until the age of 23. During his upbringing, Chris developed a passion for activities such as skateboarding, snowboarding, and dirt biking. In high school, he became a fan of UFC and MMA and subsequently signed up for boxing training. Despite attending Benson Polytechnic High School, his education suffered as he struggled with reading and writing. After school, he joined the US Army under the false impression that he could wrestle for the Army’s team and later deserted and was discharged after realizing the threat this posed to his career.

Upon returning home, he joined the MMA gym housing the training camp Team Quest, and trained alongside skilled fighters such as Randy Couture, Nate Quarry, Matt Lindland, and Ed Herman. He had a successful start as an amateur, winning his first five matches and claiming the FCFF and UFCF middleweight titles. He transitioned to the professional circuit and won his first five bouts, securing victories against notable fighters and accumulating a perfect 9-0 record and winning the WEC Middleweight and GC Middleweight titles.

Participating in The Ultimate Fighter 1, he fought against several opponents but those fights weren’t classified as professional bouts. Following the season, he joined the UFC and had several successful matches before testing positive for illegal drugs. Despite a setback in his career after a loss, his record included numerous accolades such as Fight of the Night and Knockout of the Night honors, further contributing to his wealth. He concluded his career with 22 victories and 11 losses.

In 2016, he attempted a comeback by signing with Bellator MMA, but his plans were thwarted after a routine checkup unearthed heart problems, rendering him unable to fight.

He subsequently settled in Oahu, Hawaii, where he became a coach at Icon Fitness MMA Gym and also established the Ultimate Fight School gym. Additionally, he hosts the radio show “Unfiltered MMA Radio,” further boosting his net worth.

In his personal life, Chris married Kaleena in 2012 but faced legal issues, resulting in a restraining order prohibiting him from contacting his wife for the next ten years.
