Bio:
Joshua Taylor is from Rio Rancho, New Mexico, which is a suburb of Albuquerque; home to the world renowned Jackson’s Submission Fighting. Joshua got into MMA in late 1996 when he stumbled upon a video store that was closing and selling its inventory off, and he managed to score the first 11 UFC events for $10. When Joshua was young, he was addicted to the WWF (WWE), but by ’96 he was 14 and growing out of the “sports entertainment” genre and searching for something to take its place. Those early UFCs planted a seed that eventually grew into his current obsession with mixed martial arts. Among Joshua's favorite fighters to watch are Fedor Emelianenko, Lyoto Machida, Diego Sanchez, Nate Marquardt, and Carlos Condit.
Joshua has been happily married for five years and is currently attending school to get his Journeyman’s license in the Electrical Trade.
Hobbies and Activities:
Watching/Playing American Football, Basketball, Snowboarding, and Mountain-Biking.
Automobiles (he has restored a ’69 Chevrolet Camaro and his current ’69 Chevrolet Nova, on-top of having built a 4x4 Dodge Dakota and a Euro'd VW Passat.

Benson Henderson vs. Donald Cerrone (WEC 43)
Tatsuya Kawajiri vs. Eddie Alvarez (DREAM 5, 2008)
Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipović vs. Mark Hunt (PRIDE Shockwave 2005)
