[edit] Biography

[edit] Professional Career
Howard's first professional fight was in UFC 3 - The American Dream, where his first opponent was Roland Payne, he scored a KO in 46 seconds and went on to fight the feared Brazilian, Royce Gracie who threw in the towel before the fight due to exhaustion from his previous bout. Following the two wins he succumbed to three losses against Steve Jennum, Mark Hall and Hugo Duarte all due to submission (strikes). His professional career was short lived running for only two years, cut short by injury.
