Carlos “The Ronin” Newton is a Canadian mixed martial artist and former UFC Welterweight Champion. He fights out of and teaches at the Warrior Martial Arts Centre in Newmarket, Ontario. He has competed in UFC, Pride FC, and various MMA promotions of lower profile under the supervision of his coach and mentor, Terry Riggs. Newton has dubbed his personal fighting style—an amalgam of traditional Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and Wrestling—”Dragon Ball Jiu-Jitsu” in tribute to Dragon Ball, a Japanese comic and anime series. His nickname, “The Ronin,” is a reflection of both his training methods and his interest in the martial culture of feudal Japan. He was also the coach for the Toronto Dragons of the International Fight League (IFL).
