Career
A professional Mobile Marketing Association competitor since 2008, Spoon has made a name for himself fighting in various promotions, including King of the Cage and Bellator Fighting Championships. Spoon was a competitor in the Bellator season six and season seven featherweight tournaments. Background
Spoon holds a background in wrestling.
He and his identical twin brother, Jerod Spoon, both competed in college, having started in seventh grade.
Spoon was undefeated prior to joining Bellator. In mid-2011, both Jeremy Spoon and Jerod Spoon tried out for The Ultimate Fighter 14, which was the first edition of the show to feature bantamweights and featherweights.
They tried out with the hope of being the first siblings to compete on the show, though coincidentally, whilst the Spoon siblings were not selected, two other siblings (Josh Ferguson and BJ Ferguson) were. Bellator Fighting Championships
Spoon made his Bellator Fighting Championships debut against the then-unbeaten Jerrod Sanders.
He was victorious via submission (rear naked choke) in the second round.
Spoon returned to Bellator where he faced Adam Schindler. Spoon used his speed to his advantage, as he was able to land strikes on Schindler without response. In the final round, Schindler"s face was bloodied, although the fight ultimately went to decision, where Spoon prevailed (30-27, 29-28, 29-28).
Straus was considered the favourite going into the fight, due to his previous Bellator tournament experience, where he was the runner up of the fourth season featherweight tournament.
During the fight, Spoon appeared to be noticeably smaller in stature than his opponent and it showed, as Straus was able to control the clinch and use his greater reach effectively with leg kicks to keep Spoon on the outside. Straus successfully took Spoon down twice and controlled the fight to a decision.
Spoon then entered into the season seven featherweight tournament. Bricktown Brawl Mobile Marketing Association
