Travis Fulton (born May 29, 1977) is an American mixed martial artist and a professional boxer in the heavyweight division of both sports. Known as a longtime veteran in mixed martial arts, he has competed in over 300 sanctioned bouts and while he is perhaps best known for competing in smaller US-based promotions, he has also competed in the UFC, the WEC, Pancrase, the Chicago Red Bears of the IFL, King of the Cage and RINGS. He also holds the record for the most sanctioned mixed martial arts bouts, with 315.
Fulton was born in Waterloo, Iowa and raised in Cedar Falls, Iowa. His father worked for the John Deere company and Fulton began wrestling when he was in elementary school, following his older brother's footsteps. Fulton was also a skilled baseball player and later attended Cedar Falls High School, where he was a state competitor in wrestling, but was kicked off the team several times for skipping classes. He was also a Golden Gloves boxer and a second-degree black belt in American Kenpo. Fulton fell in love with the sport of mixed martial arts after seeing UFC 3 on pay per view. At the age of 18, Fulton took up submission fighting and later trained with Miletich Fighting Systems led by legendary coach and fellow Iowa native Pat Miletich.
