Mixed martial arts career

WEC

García made his WEC debut on January 25, 2009, facing Hiromitsu Miura at WEC 38.[2] García, being the underdog coming into the fight, managed to knockout Miura out little over a minute into the first round.[3]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

After the folding of the WEC Welterweight division, the Ultimate Fighting Championship picked up his contract[4] and he made his UFC debut at The Ultimate Fighter: United States vs. United Kingdom Finale, losing a controversial split decision to Brad Blackburn.[5] After the decision was read, the fans at the arena booed Blackburn very loudly, and UFC commentator Joe Rogan implied that García should have won the decision.[6]

At UFC 107, García lost to DaMarques Johnson by triangle choke in the first round.[7][8] At the conclusion of UFC 107, García was released from the promotion along with Kevin Burns, Shane Nelson and Darrill Schoonover.[9]

Post-UFC

Since leaving the UFC, García has gone 7–1, with his most recent fight being a win over Bellator vet Jordan Smith at Showdown Fights 13 on January 24, 2014.[10]

UFC return

García resigned with the UFC in September 2014. He faced Héctor Urbina on November 15, 2014 at UFC 180.[11] He lost he bout via submission in the first round.

Garcia was expected to face Andrew Craig on July 15, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 71.[12] However, Garcia was forced from the bout with injury and replaced by promotional newcomer Lyman Good.[13]

Garcia was expected to face Sheldon Westcott on December 10, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 80.[14] However, the pairing was moved to UFC 195 a few weeks later to bolster the card.[15] He lost the fight via TKO in the first round.[16]
