Travis Marx (born October 25, 1977) is an American mixed martial artist who formerly competed in Bellator's bantamweight division.
Marx was born and raised in Roosevelt, Utah. He was a three-time state wrestling champion at Union High School and placed third in NJCAA at Ricks College (later renamed Brigham Young University). He worked toward his degrees in Sociology and Spanish, making a two-year mission trip to Patagonia for the LDS Church.
Marx is also a former Utah Highway Patrol member and currently lives in New Mexico.
Marx started his career in 2003. He fought mainly for Utah's promotion Ultimate Combat Experience. Within five years — with an idle period in MMA between July 2003 and March 2007 — he compiled a record of nine victories and no losses.
Marx had his first career's defeat against fellow prospect Steven Siler. Beyond that, he obtained six more victories between 2008-2009, including a victory over Rad Martinez and a no contest against Nick Mamalis.
Marx fought in the controversial event Nemesis Fighting: MMA Global Invasion against Jose Tezanos, in which he lost via unanimous decision. The promotion was later accused of not paying some fighters and the case was taken up by the U.S. Secret Service.
Marx faced Gracie Arizona's Ray Robinson on June 2011 at Jackson's MMA Series 5. He won via submission early in the first round.
Marx faced Mikey Lovato on September 2011 at Clash in the Cage. He defeated Lovato via submission due to strikes in the first round.
With three victories in a row in 2011, Marx signed with Bellator to compete in the bantamweight tournament.
