Carlos Newton is a retired Canadian mixed martial artist, born in Anguilla in 1976 and raised in Toronto from the age of eight. Nicknamed The Ronin, he trained out of Warrior MMA in Newmarket, Ontario, and built a submission-based style from Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, wrestling and other arts. He fought for Shooto, Pride, K-1 and the UFC, and his 1998 Pride loss to Kazushi Sakuraba is remembered as a classic. On 4 May 2001 he beat Pat Miletich at UFC 31 to become the first Canadian UFC champion and, at the time, the youngest welterweight titleholder, before losing the belt to Matt Hughes at UFC 34. He later coached in the International Fight League and, after retiring, taught at his own gym in Pickering, Ontario.
