Biography

Growing up in Louisiana, Tim Credeur competed in both MMA and boxing. However, he didn't train as an athlete until he joined the Navy at the age of 18. His first fight came in 1995, and since then, he has grown in experience and reputation as a quick finisher in the ring. In 11 bouts Tim has yet to have a fight move past the first round. Now 30, Tim is a member of Louisiana's Gladiator Academy and appeared on "The Ultimate Fighter" series.During the show's Semi-final fight between he and Jesse Taylor, Taylor won by unanimous decision after 3 rounds. However, after Taylor was removed from the finale for behavior reasons, Credeur fought C.B. Dollaway to determine who would match up against Amir Sadollah in the show's live finale. Tim lost the match by unanimous decision after 3 rounds, though the match was very closely contested. He was scheduled to fight fellow Team Forrest member Cale Yarbrough at the TUF 7 finale. However, Tim admitted to using the prescription drug Adderall five days prior to the event; Adderall is a drug banned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. A drug test was performed and the prescription drug was still in Tim's system. This caused in the match to be canceled. Since Tim admitted to the recent use of the drug and he did not fight, there was no disciplinary action taken against him; his bout with Yarbrough was rescheduled for the UFC's July 19th show, .
