Conor Heun (born February 11, 1979) is an American mixed martial artist who currently competes in the Lightweight division.

Mixed martial arts career

Conor has fought for Strikeforce, EliteXC and the International Fight League, as a member of the Los Angeles Anacondas,^[2] during his career. Conor has also been featured on the MTV program Bully Beatdown.^[3]

Heun made his Television debut on a Sho XC card against Marlon Mathais. Mathais broke Heun's jaw a minute and a half into the first round with a well timed knee. Heun, showing the heart and warrior spirit he has come to be know for, kept fighting, winning every round on the judges cards for a unanimous decision victory.

His next fight would be a second round TKO stoppage of James Edson Berto on the Elite XC "Heat" card made famous when Kimbo Slice was KO'd in just 14 seconds by Seth "the silverback" Petruzelli.

Heun made his Strikeforce debut against former UFC fighter Jorge Gurgel on a ShoMMA card in June 2009. He lost the fight via decision and the fight was said to be one the best Strikeforce fights of 2009.

After a year off due to injury, he returned to the promotion on the Strikeforce: Los Angeles card. He faced boxer and former EliteXC lightweight champion KJ Noons on relatively short notice but lost the fight via split decision.

Conor recently fought Magno Almeida in Dallas on the Overeem vs Werdum undercard. Heun displayed amazing submission defense and excellent ground and pound earning him the unanimous decision victory. Almeida caught Conor in a desperate arm bar attempt at the buzzer which dislocated Conor's elbow.

Personal life

Heun studied English Literature, Journalism, Organizational Communications Learning and Design at Ithaca College.
