Chris Kelades (born February 21, 1981), is a Canadian mixed martial artist who current competes in the Flyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. A professional MMA competitor since 2009, Kelades made a name for himself fighting mostly in his native country. In 2014, he also fought for Bellator MMA.

Chris Kelades began training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu which led into training wrestling and striking. He currently holds a purple belt in Jiu Jitsu. Chris would amass a 6-0 record before signing with Bellator, but would drop a decision for the promotion at Bellator 119. He would bounce back with a win in July 2014.

After his win at Extreme Cage Combat 21 in July, Kelades signed with the UFC.

Kelades did his promotional debut on one week short notice replacing an injured Louis Gaudinot against Paddy Holohan on October 4, 2014 at UFC Fight Night: MacDonald vs. Saffiedine. Despite being a heavy underdog, Kelades won via unanimous decision. The fight earned the Fight of the Night bonus.

Kelades faced Ray Borg on February 14, 2015 at UFC Fight Night: Henderson vs. Thatch. Borg won the one sided fight via submission in the third round.

Kelades next faced Chris Beal on August 23, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 74. He won the fight via split decision.

Kelades faced Sergio Pettis on April 23, 2016 at UFC 197. He lost the fight by unanimous decision and was subsequently released from the promotion.
