Dean Lister, also known as “The Boogeyman”, was one of the pioneers of the leglock movement – he was also an MMA pioneer.

Lister climbed the ranks of MMA through the King of the Cage organization. He fought for the promotion a total of eight times, winning six. He made his MMA debut in September 2000 when he defeated John Jensen via a first-round submission at KOTC 5 – Cage Wars. He retired from MMA since, but still occasionally competes in the BJJ scene.
Lister ultimately made it the the UFC and ended his career with a fight record od 13-7-0 having last submitted an opponent in 2015 with a heel hook.

Rodolfo Viera, the next generation and level of our sport. What an honor. It was suggested that I share this video from several friends, however I will never share this again. Rodolfo viera has only one blemish on his record, I’m not seeking to exploit it at all.. Seeing that he has transferred into the MMA world like I have also done, I am looking forward to him winning at the highest level, I actual hope he makes me look minor in his future endeavors
