Lyle Beerbohm is no longer undefeated, as Pat Healy gave him the first loss of his career in an entertaining fight on Friday night’s Strikeforce Challengers card.
After 15 minutes of back-and-forth action, all three judges scored it 29-28 for Healy, as did I. The victory improved Healy’s record to 26-17, while Beerbohm fell to 15-1.
“Good fight,” Healy said afterward. “If they want a rematch, any time. I think I out-worked him, out-hustled him, won the exchanges on the feet and had some real close submissions.”

There’s nothing so remarkable about Lyle Beerbohm, really.
He’s just your run-of-the-mill recovering meth addict who’s racked up a perfect 16-0 record as an MMA fighter. He did a year in a Washington state prison, which is where he first saw an episode of ‘The Ultimate Fighter.’ Then he walked out of jail and into an MMA gym, where he freely admits he traded being hooked on meth for being hooked on MMA.
“To get off that addiction, I needed something,” he told MMA Fighting.

Undefeated records in MMA just don’t last. Boxing, where prospects are built up for years by promoters who hand them easy opponents, has scores of competitors who stay undefeated through their first 10, 20 or even 30 professional fights. But in MMA, that’s not the case.
So when you see a fighter with a record like Lyle Beerbohm, you want to take a closer look. Beerbohm will put his undefeated record (the second-best record among all active MMA fighters) on the line Friday night against Pat Healy at the Strikeforce Challengers event in Cedar Park, Texas.
We’ll take a closer look at Beerbohm’s undefeated record below.
