Roman Mitichyan (born September 4, 1978) is an Armenian-American professional mixed martial artist, actor and stuntman. He briefly appeared on Spike TV's reality show The Ultimate Fighter: Team Hughes vs. Team Serra, as a part of Team Serra, but was forced to leave the show due to injury.[1]

Biography

Mitichyan was born in Vanadzor. He started training at the age of eight in freestyle wrestling, before switching to training in Sambo and Judo under Baxshik Saroyan. Mitichyan and his family moved to America in 1997, and he started training at the Hayastan Judo Club under Gene Lebell and Gokor Chivichyan. In 2000, he settled in Los Angeles with the intention of pursuing an acting career.[2]

MMA career

Mitichyan amassed a 4-1 MMA record before appearing on The Ultimate Fighter: Team Hughes vs. Team Serra. He broke his elbow during the pre-team selection evaluation, and was immediately removed from the show before he had an opportunity to fight. However, he was brought back to fight on the show's finale, where he defeated Dorian Price via ankle lock submission in only 23 seconds, earning him a contract with the UFC.[3] In his following fight at UFC Fight Night 13, he was defeated by fellow TUF 6 alumnus George Sotiropoulos via TKO in the second round, thus resulting in the UFC cutting ties with him.

Acting career

Roman has performed roles and stunts in various films and television shows, including NUMB3RS, Dexter, Felon, 24, NCIS: Los Angeles, Takers, CSI: Miami, Sons of Anarchy, NCIS, CSI: NY, John Wick, Furious 7, Escape Plan 2: Hades, and Vice.[2][4]
