Mixed martial arts career

Health issues

Escovedo was forced into a well documented semi-retiremment in 2007 from a serious staph infection that left him partially paralyzed and in need of spinal surgery[1]. Then, after a nearly three years hiatus from mixed martial arts action, he returned on May 8, 2009 at a Palace Fighting Championship event at the Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino in Lemoore, Calif. Escovedo's comeback to MMA was his first fight in the 135 lb Bantamweight division.[2]

UFC

Escodevo made his UFC debut against Renan Barao on May 25, 2011 at UFC 130. He lost the fight via unanimous decision.

Escovedo faced Takeya Mizugaki at UFC 135. He was knocked out by Mizugaki at 4:30 in the second round, giving him two consecutive losses in the UFC. [3]

Escovedo faced Alex Caceres on November 12, 2011 at UFC on Fox 1.[4] Escovedo lost via unanimous decision after losing the standing exchanges to Caceres for all three rounds.
