Mixed martial arts career

In the early part of his career, Hornbuckle went 19-2 with significant knockout wins against Akihiro Gono and Nick Thompson in Sengoku. These two wins brought his name to international prominence and launched his career in 2009.

On Thursday December 17, 2009 Bellator Fighting Championships announced the signing of Dan Hornbuckle to a multi-fight welterweight tournament contract.[1]

At Bellator 15, Dan defeated Tyler Stinson via first round triangle choke to advance to the semi-finals of the Bellator Welterweight tournament.

He then defeated Steve Carl via submission (Kimura) at Bellator 19 to advance to the finals of the Bellator Welterweight tournament. This victory was a candidate for 2010 submission of the year.

In the finals, Hornbuckle fought Olympic wrestler, Ben Askren. The fight took place at Bellator 22 on June 17, at the Kansas City Power and Light District in Kansas City, Mo.,[2] with Askren winning by unanimous decision. The fight saw Askren implement a dominant top game on the ground that stifled Hornbuckle's bottom game.

Hornbuckle made his return to Bellator against former UFC welterweight Brad Blackburn at Bellator 25 on August 19, 2010.[3] He won the fight via unanimous decision in what was largely a three round kickboxing battle. Despite being knocked down in the first round, Hornbuckle recovered and won the next two rounds to win a unanimous decision.

Hornbuckle then participated in the Bellator Season 4 Welterweight Tournament. In his opening round fight against Brent Weedman at Bellator 35, Hornbuckle lost a unanimous decision, 29-28 on all three judges scorecards. The fight was notably close and the decision was booed by the crowd after being announced. Weedman sustained a large facial laceration early in the first round which required interior and exterior stitches, and is currently serving a 60 day medical suspension mandated by the California State Athletic Commission. This has put Weedman's tournament hopes in doubt and has elevated the possibility of Hornbuckle reentering the tournament.

Hornbuckle was scheduled to fight former Bellator welterweight champion Lyman Good at Bellator 44, in Atlantic City, New Jersey. However, a hamstring injury forced Lyman Good off the card, and the bout was scrapped.

Hornbuckle entered into the Bellator Season 5 Welterweight Tournament. He fought Luis Santos in the opening round held at Bellator 49 and lost the fight via unanimous decision.

After losing two consecutive fights in Bellator, Hornbuckle has been released from the promotion along with Wilson Reis.[4]

Personal life

In addition to being a professional mixed martial artist, Hornbuckle works as a fire suppression system installer.[5]
