A professional competitor since 2012, he formerly competed for the RFA, CES MMA, and was a Light Heavyweight contestant on The Ultimate Fighter: Team Joanna vs. Team Cláudia.
Growing up with drug-addicted parents, Spicely was raised primarily by his grandmother before moving back in with his parents at the age of 15 after she passed away. However, he later moved out due to their abuse and continued drug use. Prior to his career in MMA, Spicely was a professional wrestler, and was also a talented skateboarder. Trained as a professional wrestler by Biff Busick, he competed for Beyond Wrestling often teaming with Chuck O'Neil and Matt Riddle.
Spicely compiled an amateur record of 2-1 before turning professional in 2013, competing exclusively for CES MMA in his native Rhode Island.
He compiled an undefeated record of 8 - 0 before being added as one of the 16 Light Heavyweight fighters invited to the cast The Ultimate Fighter 23.
He won his entry fight against Kenneth Bergh via first round submission. Next up, he defeated Elias Urbina via unanimous decision. In the semifinals, he was eliminated from the competition by eventual season winner Andrew Sanchez by knockout in the first round.
