Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog

Carey D. Vanier Sr. (born August 3, 1981) is a retired Guyanese-American mixed martial arts fighter.[2] A professional from 2006 until 2014, he is perhaps best remembered for his stint in Bellator.

Background

He began wrestling at an early age, and as a senior in high school, he finished sixth at the state wrestling finals. He enrolled at Ridgewater College, where he was eventually named an All-American.[3]

Mixed martial arts career

Bellator

After obtaining an 8-2 record, Carey was signed to the Bellator brand and will enter their second season lightweight tournament that started in April 2010.[3] Carey won his first fight against Joe Duarte via TKO in the third round. The win moved him onto the semi-final round, where he lost to Toby Imada.

He fought and defeated UFC veteran Rich Clementi in a closely contested match at Bellator 28. At one point in the second round, Vanier grabbed a hold of the fence to defend a takedown. In the third round he landed two illegal knee strikes to Clementi's face; however, the referee did not deduct a point for them. The win earned Vanier a spot in the fourth-season lightweight tournament.

In October, Vanier moved to New Mexico and began training with Greg Jackson's team. His first fight as a part of his new team came at Bellator 36 against Lloyd Woodard. Vanier was defeated in the second round via TKO. The fight was a quarter-final fight in Bellator's season four lightweight tournament.

Personal life

Vanier was born in Hopetown Village, Guyana, and moved to Minnesota at age 3 where he has lived ever since. After graduating from Ridgewater, he held off on fighting in order to support his young son, Carey Jr. He took a job at the local Best Buy and worked his way up the ranks until he was named store manager.
