Tim Credeur

In 2013 Credeur quietly retired from fighting to focus on teaching and coaching in his MMA gym in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Credeur faced Ed Herman on June 4, 2011 at The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale. He lost the fight via TKO in the first round.

Credeur was expected to face Brad Tavares on October 29, 2011 at UFC 137. However, Creduer was forced out of the bout and replaced by promotional newcomer Dustin Jacoby.

Credeur and his wife Mamie had their first child, a daughter named Audrey on January 4, 2011.

Credeur was scheduled to face Tom Lawlor on May 8, 2010 at UFC 113, but was forced off the card with another injury. He was replaced by Joe Doerksen. Credeur later revealed that he was forced out of the scheduled UFC 113 bout due to an abnormality found during a brain scan.

Growing up in Louisiana, Tim Credeur competed in both MMA and boxing. However, he did not train as an athlete until he joined the Navy at the age of 18. His first fight came in 1995 and since then, he has grown in experience and reputation as a quick finisher in the ring. His father was a huge fan of boxing and it was something Credeur easily fit into. As a kid he dreamed of becoming a fighter and was inspired by boxers such as Thomas Hearns, Marvin Hagler and Muhammad Ali. Credeur was the second person in Louisiana to obtain a Black Belt rank in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Timothy Wallace Credeur II (born July 9, 1977) is a retired American mixed martial artist.

He was then brought back into the competition following the disqualification of Taylor. He fought C.B. Dollaway for a spot in the finals and lost to Dollaway via decision.
