**Todd Labanes Moore** (born December 30, 1983) is an American retired professional [mixed martial artist](/source/Mixed_martial_artist). A professional competitor from 2005 until 2014, Moore fought in the [WEC](/source/World_Extreme_Cagefighting), [Strikeforce](/source/Strikeforce_(mixed_martial_arts)), [Titan FC](/source/Titan_Fighting_Championship), [Legacy FC](/source/Legacy_Fighting_Championship), and [DREAM](/source/Dream_(mixed_martial_arts)).

## Background

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Moore competed in [wrestling](/source/Wrestling) for the inaugural team at [Klein Forest High School](/source/Klein_Forest_High_School) and was talented. Without including Freestyle or Greco-Roman seasons, Moore compiled an overall record of 147–52.[2] After graduating, Moore began training in mixed martial arts at the age of 18, learning [Brazilian jiu-jitsu](/source/Brazilian_jiu-jitsu), and would earn his black belt eight and a half years later under Vinicius Magalhaes.[3]

## Mixed martial arts career

### Early career

Moore compiled an undefeated amateur record of 7-0 before turning professional in 2005.[2] Moore continued to dominate in the regional circuit, holding an undefeated record of 10-0 before being signed by the [WEC](/source/World_Extreme_Cagefighting).

### WEC

Moore made his promotional debut at [WEC 31](/source/WEC_31) on December 12, 2007, against [John Alessio](/source/John_Alessio). Moore was defeated via unanimous decision and was handed his first professional loss.

Moore made his next appearance at [WEC 35](/source/WEC_35) on August 3, 2008, in a [Lightweight](/source/Lightweight_(MMA)) bout against [Shane Roller](/source/Shane_Roller).
