Jeffrey William Monson (born January 18, 1971) is an American-Russian mixed martial artist from Olympia, Washington. He is a two-time winner of the ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship, and a No Gi Brazilian jiu-jitsu World Champion. He has competed in the UFC, PRIDE, Dream, Strikeforce, M-1 Challenge, Sengoku and Impact FC.

Background

Monson was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where he also grew up for most of his childhood. Monson attended Timberline High School and continued on as a Division I wrestler at Oregon State University and at the University of Illinois, and was a Pac-10 champion.[2] He also competed at senior level at USA Wrestling events for a number of years.[3]

Monson is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and a two-time Abu Dhabi Combat Club Submission Wrestling World Champion. He is a mixed martial arts fighter and has had three professional boxing bouts. His professional boxing record is two wins and one draw.

Monson is considered to be one of the world's top submission grapplers. He is a multiple event winner at NAGA, Grapplers Quest and FILA, among other submission tournaments.[4] He is nicknamed "The Snowman" for his performance at the 1999 Abu Dhabi Combat Club Submission Wrestling World Championship. The Brazilian fighters at the tournament gave him the nickname because he came in as an unknown, but beat four Brazilians in a row to win the 88–98 kilogram weight class. As he went along in the tournament and continued to beat his opponents, they said he was like a snowball (white, compact, rolling and getting bigger and stronger as the tournament went on).[5]

In 2015, Monson sought Russian citizenship citing that he feelt "Russian in spirit".[6] Monson officially became a Russian citizen at the end of 2015.[7] In an interview, he explained, "I am an anarchist, someone who would like to do away with all class hierarchy in society and the institutions that promote this inequality."[8] He correspondingly receives sponsorship from AK Press and has several anarchist symbols tattooed on his body. In solidarity, Monson is a member of the Industrial Workers of the World (Wobblies).[9] Recently in a video clip Jeff also expressed his will to join the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and praised socialism as "the only way as a human species that we’re going to survive".[10]

Monson has a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Illinois and also a master's degree in psychology from the University of Minnesota Duluth, where he was the assistant coach of the wrestling team. For a few years he worked as a mental health professional, both in a crisis evaluation role for Cascade Mental Health in Lewis County, Washington, as well as a child/family counselor. He has had such major success in Abu Dhabi and other MMA shows that he left the mental health profession to devote himself full-time to mixed martial arts.

Mixed martial arts career

Ultimate Fighting Championship

After 14 straight victories Monson turned to the UFC. At UFC 57 Monson submitted Branden Lee Hinkle by north–south choke in the first round. At UFC 59 Monson fought Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Marcio Cruz (his longtime rival and ADCC veteran). Monson won by decision after three rounds. At UFC 61 Monson fought another Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt in Anthony Perosh, whom Monson defeated via TKO in the first round.

On November 18, 2006 at UFC 65, Monson fought Tim Sylvia for the UFC Heavyweight Championship. Monson lost a five-round decision and would later ask to be released from his UFC contract in the hopes of facing then-PRIDE Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko at a BodogFIGHT scheduled for March 2007.[11] However, negotiations fell through and the match did not happen during that time.

PRIDE

During the bout, Monson displayed a much improved level of striking, and kept the fight standing virtually the entire time.

On September 7, 2007, Monson won a total of two matches in the FILA World Championship in Turkey, defeating France's Zoro Piere and England's Tom Blackledge with submissions.

Stepping in to replace Neil Wain, is the very man who took Wain out of the fight, Dave Keeley.[15] Monson defeated Keeley via submission (north–south choke) in the first round.

Monson defeated Sergey Shemetov at the inaugural Israel Fighting Championship event on Nov. 9. After the fight, he said he wanted to drop down to the Light Heavyweight division for his next fight and his friend, Ricco Rodriguez, who later won his fight in the main event, said he wanted to fight Monson in the International Fighting Championships (IFC) at Light Heavyweight.[16]

In 2011, Monson defeated Lee Mein on January 7,[17] and Tony Lopez on April 1 by five round decision. Jeff Monson's next fight was against Maro Perak where he won a three-round decision.[18]

Monson says that after he fights in April and May, he hopes the UFC wants him back, but this time he would like to fight in the Light Heavyweight division.[19]

Monson stepped in for injured Shane del Rosario to face prospect Daniel Cormier on the June 18 Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum card in Dallas, Texas, and lost via fight via unanimous decision.[20]

Monson was unbeaten in his four fights after the loss against Fedor, and in June 2012 signed a four-fight deal with the Super Fight League in India.[22] Monson was originally announced to fight at SFL 4 on September 29 against former UFC fighter Todd Duffee but after the event was pushed back twice the SFL decided to change the structure of their shows, with weekly events replacing monthly events. Duffee and SFL agreed his departure in September and he is currently fighting in the UFC. Following this news, the fight was cancelled.
