Huddleston began his professional MMA career in July 2011. He compiled a record of four wins and just one loss in his first five bouts, with victories over Daniel Gallemore and Yusuke Kawaguchi, before signing with Bellator.

Bellator MMA

In his Bellator debut, Huddleston faced Derek Bohi at Bellator 130 on October 24, 2014. The pair previously met in an amateur bout at a Titan FC event in 2011, which Huddleston won via first-round knockout. Huddleston would defeat Bohi for a second time, winning via TKO in the first round.[1]

Huddleston next faced fellow up-and-comer Javy Ayala at Bellator 139 on June 26, 2015. Huddleston won via rear-naked choke submission in the first round, moments after dropping Ayala with a left hand.[2]

Huddleston faced Augusto Sakai at Bellator 145 on November 6, 2015. Huddleston knocked Sakai down after connecting with a right hand in the last seconds of the third round, but was unable to finish the fight and lost via unanimous decision.[3]
