Encyclopedia
Timoteo Tobias "Toby" Imada born July 16, 1978 is an American
mixed martial artist
of Japanese and Mexican descent. He fights for Bellator Fighting Championships
in their lightweight
division. He competed in their first and second season tournaments, making it to the finals both times.
Imada won 2009 Submission of the Year with an inverted triangle choke.
. He has fought many notable fighters such as, Jason Von Flue
, Jason Miller, Joe Stevenson
, Hermes Franca
, Jake Shields
, Jorge Masvidal
, James Krause
, Tetsuji Kato, Carey Vanier
.
Imada has fought in many MMA
organizations since 1998, and most notable in the Bellator Fighting Championship lightweight tournament where he moved on to the finals after defeating Alonzo Martinez and Jorge Masvidal
.
Imada is notable for his upset win over Masvidal by way of a bizarre inverse triangle choke while Masvidal was standing up and therefore has been acknowledged by many MMA mediums as Submission of the Year 2009. He was also awarded a Bazzie award from Inside MMA on HDNet for the unorthodox submission victory, and Submission of the Year Honors at the World MMA Awards.
At Bellator 12, Imada fought top five ranked Eddie Alvarez
for the chance to become the first Bellator lightweight champion. Alvarez got the better of the battle and won the fight in the second round via rear naked choke.
He returned to Bellator
in April, entering the lightweight tournament for the second time. His first fight was originally to be a rematch against Jorge Masvidal
. He was then scheduled to fight against Ferrid Kheder
at Bellator 15, but an injury forced Kheder out of the bout. Instead, at Bellator 14 Imada fought James Krause
and won via armbar submission.
With the win over Krause, Imada moved onto the semi-final round against Carey Vanier
. In the second round after Vanier lost footing, Imada capitalized and applied an armbar that caused Vanier to tap out. The win moved him onto the finals taking place at Bellator 22.
Imada then fought Pat Curran
in the season 2 Lightweight Tournament finals to see who advances to fight Eddie Alvarez
.
Curran defeated Imada via controversial split decision. Immediately following the decision, some in the crowd began booing. Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez
weighed in on the decision, saying "It was a tough fight, it could’ve gone either way.”
Bellator again signed Imada for their lightweight tournament taking place during their fourth season. Imada had his quarter-final fight at Bellator 36. He was originally set to fight Ferrid Kheder
who was overweight and decided to leave the arena and not weigh-in. Imada instead fought replacement Josh Shockly. Imada won the fight in the first round after Shockly verbally submitted from Imada's reverse omaplata. The win moved Imada into the semi-finals.
In the semi-finals Imada fought Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, Patricky Freire
, at Bellator 39. He was knocked out at 2:53 of the first round with a flying knee following up with a left hook.
