Mixed Martial Arts Career
His early martial arts training was under RBWI founder, Robert Bussey. Horn earned an RBWI black belt under Bussey in 1992. He spent most of his career with the Miletich Fighting Systems team in Iowa, and is currently training in Salt Lake City, Utah with Elite Performance, the team that he created.
He is known for defeating former light heavyweight champion and UFC star Chuck Liddell by submission at UFC 19, one of Liddell's five losses in mixed martial arts. Liddell later avenged his loss to Horn at UFC 54 in the fourth round when the fight was stopped after Horn told the referee he could no longer see.
After losing to Matt Lindland, in the second round due to strikes, at an IFL show on the 9th September 2006 Horn, later, announced that he would be taking a break from fighting. Jeremy Horn returned from this break when he beat Falaniko Vitale by Split Decision at the IFL Oakland Show.
Horn openly discusses how he often likes to fight more than he likes to win. Although technically very talented, he feels he often lacks the motivation and focus to perform at his best. He most recently fought his 100th MMA fight, losing to Jorge Santiago by way of a triangle choke at 3:02 of the 1st round.
On January 9, it was announced by the UFC that Horn would replace Thales Leites in a fight against Nate Marquardt at UFC 81. This was the first time that Horn has fought in the UFC in over a year.
Horn lost to Nate Marquardt in the second round by a standing guillotine choke.
His last fight, a rematch against Dean Lister, was lost after Dean got him into a guillotine choke hold in the first round.
