Matt Wiman’s mom called him “Handsome” at a young age and the nickname has stuck ever since. A Tulsa native, Wiman graduated from Broken Arrow High School in 2002 and saw an advertisement for an eight man mixed martial arts tournament being held locally when he was nineteen years old. Matt entered, and upon winning, decided he would try and make a living as a fighter. He began training independently before joining Tulsa Top Team last year. He made his UFC debut in 2006, losing to Spencer Fisher at UFC 60 last May.
Matt is hoping to wash the taste of that defeat from his mouth by tightening up his all around game while training in Las Vegas on his quest to become The Ultimate Fighter. Matt leaves behind his girlfriend of one year in Tulsa to participate in the show.
