300 plus fight veteran, Travis Fulton, has been accused of several crimes, including possession of child pornography.
According to the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier, Fulton is facing the following charges: “sexual exploitation of a child, possession of child porn and receipt of child porn.” The charges further allege that Fulton “attempted to entice a minor to engage in sexual conduct for the purpose of taking pictures with a Canon PowerShot camera in November 2020,” according to court records obtained by the Courier. It’s also alleged that Fulton possessed “a DataTraveler flash drive with child porn involving a child under age 12 between November 2018 and November 2020” (H/T BJPENN.com).
This is not Fulton’s first criminal offence. The former fighter is also currently awaiting trial for allegations made in regards to domestic battery. According to the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier, the MMA veteran is accused of “repeatedly punching a woman in the head and back in Waterloo and threatening to kill her if she talked to police.”
Court records state that the woman sustained multiple injuries that required hospitalization. Per the Courier’s report, the officer that investigated the incident noted in court records that Fulton “is a self-proclaimed professional fighter, with a twenty-year career, and the ability to do serious bodily injury with his hands”
Fulton has not fought professionally since 2014, where he lost a kickboxing bout to Makoto Uehara via round 1 KO. According to Tapology, he ended his career with a 257-55-10 record, although many of these fights are unconfirmed. He faced opposition such as Jonathan Ivy, Heath Herring, Rich Franklin and Forrest Griffen.
This story just can’t get any stranger.
The post Veteran Heavyweight Reacts To ‘Fake Heart Attack’ Loss appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.
Last weekend, longtime MMA heavyweight Jonathan Ivey was involved in a rare fight result that went viral when he tapped out to avoid beating his idol, fellow veteran Travis Fulton at Colosseum Combat 45 in Indiana.
The story was quite a bit stranger than just that, however, as video of the bout appeared to show Ivey faking a heart attack before dropping Fulton with a rushing attack and raining down damage on the 411-fight veteran (yes, 411 fights). Ivey continued his assault for some time but then did the unthinkable and stepped back to tap out rather than continue to pound his idol.
The 99-fight veteran Ivey spoke up about the strange ending to MMA Fighting, detailing why he did what he did to avoid hurting Fulton, whom he has a tattoo of on his leg. At first, he thought it was a great opportunity to fight his hero:
“It’s kind of complicated. When I turned pro on the undercard of a Hook’n’Shoot event years ago, Travis Fulton was the main event that night. I looked up to him throughout my career and tried to emulate his career as much as I could. Years ago, I tattooed a portrait of him on my leg sleeve, that I was dedicating to the men in the sport that I looked up to.
“I was supposed to defend this heavyweight title in February but UFC vet after UFC vet would agree to the fight and then drop out. So then it was agreed upon that Fulton would be the opponent and I was excited. I would get to fight the guy I looked up to from the beginning.”
But when he dropped his so-called hero after the fake ‘heart attack’ in question, Ivey saw Fulton’s eyes roll back in his head and he became defenseless even though the referee chose not to stop the fight, so he took the matter into his hands:
”The first couple minutes was Travis and I just exchanging punches and kicks. Then I caught him with a left hook that hurt him and put him down with a right hand. Once he went down I followed him to the ground and threw some hard shots. The second one I threw his eyes rolled back in his head. I told the ref Travis was done and to stop it but he didn’t. I threw some more punches and Travis came back a little bit. He was still defenseless, but he was able to bring his legs up, so I put my knee on his head and just threw short shots.
”He wasn’t moving and his head was trapped. His legs were up but he was defenseless. I threw a couple more punches and begged the ref to stop it. The ref wouldn’t. So I stood up and backed away and bent over to tap the mat. Yes, I wanted to fight Travis, but I didn’t want to punch him after his eyes rolled back and he was defenseless. I was never the fighter Travis was and I never will be. He’s the reason I made the decisions I did during my career. I wasn’t going to keep punching him when the fight should have been over.”
UFC veteran Fulton was declared the winner, and Ivey further dove into his position that he wanted to fight his hero, but didn’t want to hurt him for no reason when the fight should’ve been stopped. Any other fighter, perhaps, Ivey said, but he just couldn’t hurt a defenseless Fulton:
“I loved getting to fight my idol. I just regret the ref didn’t stop the fight when it should have been stopped,” Ivey said. “I signed up to fight Travis, I didn’t sign up to hit him repeatedly after his eyes rolled back and he was laying there defenseless. If it would have been some dude I never heard of I may have kept punching, but Travis didn’t deserve that.”
As for the heart attack, Ivey said he faked no such injury, but was instead pretending that a Fulton kick hurt to fake his opponent out. Those suggesting he was faking a heart attack simply had never seen any of his fights, as he’s been known to be quite a character:
”I’ve seen people saying I faked a heart attack… that is ridiculous,” he said. “Those people have clearly never seen me fight. I’m always doing funny stuff while I fight. Travis had just kicked me and it made a loud smack, so I was just playing around like it hurt.”

This is one of the strangest things you’ve ever seen in MMA.
The post Video: Heavyweight Fakes Heart Attack & Drops Opponent, Still Loses appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.
Prior to this week’s International Fight Week, there wasn’t a UFC event on tap this weekend, making it devoid of high-profile MMA events save for Friday night’s Bellator 201.
However, that didn’t prevent one of the strangest events you’ve ever seen in a mixed martial arts (MMA) cage from occurring at last night’s Colosseum Combat 45 when longtime competitor Travis Fulton met journeymen heavyweight Jonathan Ivey.
Ivey used a rarely-seen move by faking a heart attack and then sucker punching Fulton, dropping him to the ground for what could have potentially been fight-ending ground and pound.
But after a short while, Ivey, who’s apparently a Fulton fan and even has a tattoo of him (yes, he has a tattoo of the opponent he sucker punched), had a change of heart and decided to take a step back and tap out to give the victory to his hero.
Yes, this actually happened. Watch it via Caposa on Twitter here:
So to recap.. Johnathan Ivey fakes a heart attack, drops Travis Fulton, proceeds to follow up with GNP… then decides he can't punch his idol in the face anymore and taps out. #mmathings pic.twitter.com/grK54YhOe0
