Mixed martial arts career
Fulton has fought more documented MMA matches than any other fighter, racking up over 300 fights in just over 15 years. He debuted on July 26, 1996, when he was 19 years old against Dave Strasser in an event entitled "Gladiators". He lost by submission via a rear naked choke . Within just over two years of his debut, he had fought 50 Vale Tudo fights including five fights across two tournaments in one month in September 1997, compiling a record of 37-11-2 in that span. He won the World Vale Tudo Heavyweight Championship at a Tournament in Brazil in 1998.[ 3]

By early 1999, at just 22 years old, Fulton was recognized as one of the top young Vale Tudo fighters in the United States and was invited to fight at UFC 20 , where he lost to Pete Williams by submission via an armbar . He returned at UFC 21 , defeating David Dodd via a unanimous decision, though it was his last time fighting in the UFC .
Fulton was scheduled to compete in UFC 23 against Scott Adams, but was sidelined with a broken hand just six days prior to the event.
In 2008, Fulton was chosen to appear in The Ultimate Fighter reality series, but was unable to make weight in time for filming.

Fulton has thrived in many MMA organizations. He won the International Fighting Championships (IFC) world title 3 times, and has also won 3 tournaments in the organization. His only IFC losses were to Matt Lindland by choke at 22:13 (although Fulton submitted Lindland via armbar submission less than 2 minutes into their fight, but Lindland protested and Fulton agreed to continue the match) and Vladimir Matyushenko by neck crank at 15:33.
Fulton competed in the main event of World Extreme Cagefighting 's debut event in June 2001 and lost a decision to UFC Hall of Famer Dan Severn .
Fulton returned to compete in IFL Chicago in May 2007 when he took on IFL Heavyweight Champion Ben Rothwell . Fulton took the fight on a week's notice, but gave Rothwell his greatest challenge to date in the IFL organization before losing via kimura in round 2.
Fulton fought former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei Arlovski at ProElite 2 in November 2011 and lost via a head kick KO with only one second remaining in the fight. The bout served as the co-main event.[ 4]
Fulton was the #1 ranked heavyweight in Iowa for nearly a decade. He formerly held the Iowa Challenge, Cedar Valley Fighting Championships, and ISKA Mid West Muay Thai Heavyweight Championship titles.
On April 4, 2019, in Fulton's last fight, he captured the M-1 Global Super Fight World title when he defeated Shannon Ritch in Winterhaven, California by forearm choke. Fulton holds the record for the most mixed martial arts fights in history. Shannon Ritch is second only to Fulton in number of mixed martial arts fights.
