Dustin Neace (born September 12, 1986) is an American mixed martial artist who fought in Ultimate Fighting Championship and Strikeforce and was a competitor on The Ultimate Fighter: Team Bisping vs. Team Miller. Neace formerly fought in the featherweight division of Bellator.

MMA career

Strikeforce

Neace faced Jeff Curran on November 7, 2009 at Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers.[1] He lost via submission in the first round.

The Ultimate Fighter

In 2011, Neace had signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship to compete on The Ultimate Fighter: Team Bisping vs. Team Miller.[2] In the first episode, Neace fought Josh Clopton to gain entry into the Ultimate Fighter house. Neace defeated Clopton via unanimous decision (20-18, 20–18, 20–18) after two rounds. Neace was selected as a part of Team Miller, being the third featherweight chosen for the team.

In episodes three through five, Neace was shown multiple times in altercations with Team Bisping fighter, Akira Corassani.[3][4][5] The two would later be paired in a bout against each other in the preliminary round. During the fight, inside the first round, Neace applied a heel hook submission that looked like Corassani tapped to; however referee Herb Dean did not stop the fight and Corassani was released from the hold.[5][6] Corassani went on to defeat Neace via a majority decision after two rounds.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Neace made his UFC debut on December 3, 2011 at The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale against his former Ultimate Fighter teammate Bryan Caraway.[7] Neace lost the bout via submission in the second round and was subsequently released from the promotion.[8]

Bellator Fighting Championships

Neace made his Bellator debut on November 16, 2012 at Bellator 81 against Marlon Sandro.[9] Neace lost via technical submission in the first round and was subsequently released from the promotion.
