Austin Marlow Arnett[1] (born October 22, 1991) is a mixed martial artist (MMA) who currently competes in the Featherweight division of CES MMA. A professional mixed martial artist since 2012, Arnett also competed in the UFC.

Background

After buying many Gracie Jiu Jitsu DVD's and attending seminars, he was able to develop his ground game to go along with his karate background. He transitioned to MMA at the age of 13 when his father opened up an MMA gym and completed his first amateur MMA bout two years later.[3]
