Personal information

edit

Haynes was born in Grants Pass, Oregon. He has a bachelor's degree in Computer Information Systems from Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Oregon.

Haynes is currently a police officer in Las Vegas since retiring from MMA according to MMA Insight.[3]

Haynes was on duty during the 2017 Las Vegas shooting. Haynes saved a rookie officer's life, who had been shot in the shoulder, which lodged in his chest, by getting him out of the area, while under fire, and driving him to the hospital, as it was not possible to get an ambulance to the scene.[4][5] Both he and the wounded officer were visited by President Donald Trump,[6] along with other victims. Haynes later issues a statement, where he detailed the incident from his perspective and expressed condolences to other victims.[7]
