Spencer William Fisher (born May 9, 1976) is a semi-retired American mixed martial artist from Cashiers, North Carolina. A professional competitor from 2002-2012, he has most recently competed in the UFC's Lightweight division.
Fisher was born in Cashiers, North Carolina, played soccer while growing up, and was also a fan of professional wrestling. Fisher was introduced to martial arts when he began practicing Shotokan Karate and Jeet Kun Do at a young age in his school's cafeteria. Fisher then transitioned to boxing in 1992 and began training for MMA soon after. Before becoming a professional fighter, he worked in landscaping and security.
Fisher made his professional mixed martial arts debut in 2002 and compiled a record of 14-1 before being signed by the UFC.
He made his UFC debut at Ultimate Fight Night 2, scoring a second-round submission victory over Thiago Alves. He then defeated Aaron Riley at Ultimate Fight Night 3 by TKO due to a doctor stoppage after the first round after Fisher broke Riley's Jaw with strikes. Perhaps Fisher's most notable early fight was with Canadian kickboxer Sam Stout on the undercard of UFC 58. When Stout's original opponent Kenny Florian sustained an injury in training that left him unable to compete, Fisher took the fight on very late notice, reportedly having to cut twenty pounds in the final two days leading up to the match. Although Fisher seemed to land the harder punches, Stout landed more and came away with a controversial split decision.
