Brad Imes
From FightWiki
Bradley Imes Smith, AKA Brad Imes (March 13, 1977), is an American mixed martial arts fighter. Imes appeared on the second season of The Ultimate Fighter reality show on Spike TV. He has competed as a heavyweight in the UFC, WEC, King of the Cage, and IFL. He is perhaps most notable for his two gogoplata submission victories in a row, something that is extremely rare in MMA, especially in the heavyweight division.
While on the Ultimate Fighter, Imes defeated Rob MacDonald and Seth Petruzelli but lost a split decision to Rashad Evans in the finale. He has went 0-2 in the UFC with losses to Dan Christison and Heath Herring, but has won seven fights in smaller organizations since.
