Solomon Hutcherson (born August 13, 1972) is an American professional mixed martial arts fighter currently competing in the Middleweight division. He was a contestant on The Ultimate Fighter 3, and has competed for the UFC and MFC.

Background

Hutcherson was born and raised Racine, Wisconsin and attended Racine Park High School, where he competed in wrestling and qualified for the state tournament in his sophomore, junior, and senior years. In his senior year, Hutcherson placed sixth in the state and continued his career at Triton College in River Grove, Illinois but dropped out when his daughter was born.[1]

Mixed martial arts career

The Ultimate Fighter

During The Ultimate Fighter 3 Hutcherson trained under Ken Shamrock's team. He kicked off a good relationship with Kendall Grove, forming "Team Dagger", although they were in different teams.

After losing the fight with Rory Singer he stated

“You always end up learning from a loss. I had never gone into any of my prior fights taking things so personally. I was in the position of living out a dream. I have been watching the UFC ever since I was a kid. I finally had the chance to get inside the Octagon. That really got to me on an emotional level.”[1]

After the TUF show, he trained with Kendall Grove in the Xtreme Couture Camp for two years.[2]

Other Competitions

At the "Xtreme MMA 5" event, Hutcherson met David Loiseau. During the final round, Solomon was knocked out by repeated knee strikes to the head, in a Muay Thai clinch.[3][4]

Maximum Fighting Championship

Hutcherson fought Jason MacDonald at Maximum Fighting Championship event in December 2009, losing by split decision.[5][6]

Nearly a year later, Hutcherson returned to Maximum Fighting Championship and faced David Heath at MFC 26: Retribution. Hutcherson lost via KO in the second round.[7]
