Dylan Andrews (born 15 November 1979) is a mixed martial artist from New Zealand who formerly competed as a Middleweight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He was semi-finalist on FX's The Ultimate Fighter: Team Jones vs. Team Sonnen.
Dylan Andrews was born on 15 November 1979 in Wellington, New Zealand and is of Māori descent. He grew up around drugs and alcohol abuse and he was bullied at school. In his early years, Dylan played many sports, including rugby, cricket and squash.
He lived in Whakatane, New Zealand and Woburn, New Zealand where he went to Hutt Valley High School between 1996 and 1997.
Education wasn’t a very high priority for Dylan or his family. He left school without qualifications and became a laborer; he also worked in an office.
Andrews moved to Australia in 2003.
Dylan started his mixed martial arts (MMA) training in 2004 in the Lion’s Den Academy in Sydney, Australia, having stumbled into the Den while looking for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) videos. He had his first professional MMA fight some two years later on 7 July 2006 where he beat Adam Narnst by TKO after only 52 seconds of the first round.
Over the next year and a half he won his next five fights inside the first two rounds.
Dylan had his first loss on 15 February 2008 to Brian Ebersole who at the time had won 37 of his 52 professional fights.
Over the next few years, Dylan slowly built his reputation as a tough and dedicated fighter. He defeated the likes of UFC fighter and The Ultimate Fighter Season 4 contestant, Shonie Carter. He refused to tap in his fight against Jesse Taylor when in a guillotine choke, the referee had to stop the fight as Andrews was unconscious at Australian Fighting Championship (AFC) 1.
