Todd Labanes Moore (born December 30, 1983) is an American professional mixed martial artist currently competing in the Welterweight division. A professional competitor since 2005, Moore has previously competed for the WEC, Strikeforce, Titan FC, Legacy FC, and DREAM.

Background

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Moore competed in wrestling for the inaugural team at Klein Forest High School and was talented. Without including Freestyle or Greco-Roman seasons, Moore compiled an overall record of 147-52.[2] After graduating, Moore began training in mixed martial arts at the age of 18, learning Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and would earn his black belt eight and a half years later under Vinicius Magalhaes.[3]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Moore compiled an undefeated amateur record of 7-0 before turning professional in 2005.[2] Moore continued to dominate in the regional circuit, holding an undefeated record of 10-0 before being signed by the WEC.

WEC

Moore made his promotional debut at WEC 31 on December 12, 2007 against John Alessio. Moore was defeated via unanimous decision and was handed his first professional loss.

Moore made his next appearance at WEC 35 on August 3, 2008 in a Lightweight bout against Shane Roller. Moore was defeated via guillotine choke submission in the first round and was subsequently released from the promotion.

DREAM

After leaving the WEC, Moore signed with DREAM in Japan. Moore faced Japanese submission specialist Shinya Aoki at DREAM 6 on September 23, 2008 and was defeated via neck crank submission in the first round.

Strikeforce

Moore soon bounced back, however, winning three of his next four fights before being signed to a four-fight deal by Strikeforce.[4]
