Francisco Javier Treviño Ibarguen[1] (born December 17, 1981) is a Mexican mixed martial artist with American citizenship. He competes in the Lightweight division, and formerly fought for the UFC.[2]
He was born in Reynosa, Tamaulipas but grew up in Camargo, Tamaulipas and emigrated with his family to McAllen, Texas at the age of four.[3][4] Treviño played American football in high school, but after graduating he found himself gaining weight and eventually reaching an obese figure of over 250 pounds.[3] He joined Muay Thai classes to lose weight, beginning his 100-pound transformation.[3] After sparring with a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter and feeling like he could hold his own, he decided to take up Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) as well.[4]
Only a few months after the sparring session, he made his professional debut in MMA, defeating Shaun Wagner by first-round submission on August 2, 2013, at South Texas FC 3: War Zone. He won ten straight fights in STFC between 2008 and 2013 at middleweight and welterweight.[4] On November 15, 2013, he fought for Legacy Fighting Championship, defeating Lester Batres by unanimous decision (UD) at Legacy FC 25 in Houston. Two days later, he signed a deal with the UFC, dropping even further down to lightweight division.[1][4] He became the sixth Mexican-born fighter to ever join the promotion.[5]
