Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Millender began his professional MMA career in February 2013. During this period of his career, Millender competed exclusively for the California-based promotion, Fight Club OC. He compiled a perfect record of 7–0 in the organization, which included a three-round split decision victory over current UFC competitor Dominic Waters to become the FCOC welterweight champion.

Bellator MMA

Millender was expected to make his promotional debut against Michael Page at Bellator 134 on February 27, 2015.[1] However, after a cut suffered by Page, Millender instead faced Brennan Ward at the event.[2] Millender lost the fight via rear-naked choke submission in the first round, resulting in the first professional loss of his career.[3]

Millender next faced Fernando Gonzalez at Bellator 137 on May 15, 2015.[4] He lost the fight via guillotine choke submission in the third round.[5] Millender was subsequently released from the promotion following his loss to Gonzalez.[6]

Millender returned to face Steven Ciaccio at Bellator 141 on August 28, 2015.[7] He won the fight via unanimous decision.
