Lyman Good (born May 26, 1985) is a Puerto Rican American mixed martial artist. He is perhaps best known for his time spent with Bellator, where he was the inaugural Bellator Welterweight Champion. Good currently competes in the welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Good was born and raised in the Spanish Harlem section of New York, raised along with his two sisters by only his mother. After a troublesome childhood, Lyman's mother felt getting her son involved in martial arts would be a good way for him to release his anger.
Lyman moved up the mixed martial arts ranks quickly and is now considered one of the top welterweight and middleweight fighters in the Northeast.
Outside of fighting, Lyman is also a Sensei/instructor for Tiger Schulmann mixed martial arts in Manhattan, NY.
Lyman began his fighting career in 2005, at the Ring of Combat promotion. In his second fight, against John Zecchino, he fractured his hand in the beginning of the match. Despite that fact, he won the match by TKO in the second round. Lyman continued to fight in the Ring of Combat promotion, as well as in the IFL and other minor promotions.
In the IFL 2007 semi-finals he was matched against TUF 7 participant Mike Dolce in one of the preliminary bouts. Good controlled the fight on the ground in the second round, gained an edge in the stand-up in the third, and won via unanimous decision.
In his last appearance at the Ring of Combat promotion, at ROC XVII, he fought Alexis Aquino. Good dominated the first round with his striking, and while Aquino took control in the second round, Lyman recovered his dominance in the third, winning via unanimous 29-28 decision on the three scoreboards. ROC XVII, including the Good vs. Aquino match, was televised live by HDNet Fights.
In addition to MMA bouts, Good participated in three kickboxing matches in Chuck Norris's World Combat League, winning all three.
