Rector was injured in Iraq when the driver of a Humvee he was in rolled the vehicle, resulting in turret armor slicing his arm. He had his left forearm amputated in 2014 and was medically retired from service following the incident.
After the amputation, Rector turned to a new career in MMA. After first training in jiu-jitsu in 2009, he turned towards training full-time and has accumulated a 5-4 amateur record.
In the heavyweight main event, Cody Carrillo knocked out Zach Long in Round 2 to snap a four-fight losing streak of his own.
