== Mixed Martial Arts Career ==
His early martial arts training was under Robert Bussey‘s Warrior International founder, Robert Bussey. Horn earned a RBWI black belt under Bussey in 1992, and spent most of his career with the Miletich Fighting Systems team in Iowa, and is currently training in Salt Lake City, Utah with Elite Performance, the team that he created.
Horn’s notable victories include Gilbert Yvel, Forrest Griffin, Dean Lister, David Loiseau, Travis Fulton and Chuck Liddell. He also fought to a draw against UFC Hall Of Famer Dan Severn at Extreme Challenge 7 in 1997.
Horn defeated the eventual Light Heavyweight champion and UFC star Chuck Liddell via Arm-Triangle Choke at UFC 19. Liddell later avenged his loss to Horn at UFC 54 in the fourth round, when the fight was stopped after Horn told the referee he could no longer see.
At a September 9, 2006 International Fight League show Horn lost to Matt Lindland in the second round, due to strikes. After the fight Horn announced that he would be taking a break from fighting. He returned from this break when he beat Falaniko Vitale by Split Decision at the IFL Oakland Show.
Horn openly discusses how he often likes to fight more than he likes to win. Although technically very talented, he feels he often lacks the motivation and focus to perform at his best.
After his second victory over Frank Trigg, Matt Hughes credited Jeremy Horn for teaching him most of what he knows about submissions.
He recently fought his 100th MMA fight, losing to Jorge Santiago by way of a triangle choke at 3:02 of the 1st round.
On January 9, 2008, it was announced by the UFC that Horn would replace Thales Leites in a fight against Nate Marquardt at UFC 81. This was the first time that Horn has fought in the UFC in over a year. Horn lost to Nate Marquardt in the second round by a standing guillotine choke.
His last fight, against Brazilian Jiu Jitsu ace Rousimar Palhares at UFC 93 in Dublin, Ireland which ended in a loss by unanimous decision. Shortly after the UFC released Horn from his contract.
He then fought at AMMA 3: Adrenaline MMA 3 in which he defeated Chris Davis by rear-naked choke at 4:17 in round 1.
Horn was next expected to compete at an XFO event in August 2009, but was forced off the card due to injuries sustained in training. His next fight instead took place on September 12, 2009 against Jason Guida, submitting the well-known poor sport in the first round.
Returning to action on January 16, 2010, Horn faced off against Victor Moreno, where he submitted his opponent with a Guillotine Choke in the first round. The bout was for the 5150 Combat League Middleweight Championship, which he earned with the win.
Horn went on to defend his IFC World Middleweight Championship on July 10, 2010 at an IFC event, where he successfully defended his title against Sean Salmon with a Rear Naked Choke in the first round. He returned to action only 14 days later to face Brian Warren at a UFO event, where he submitted his opponent early in the first round with an Arm Triangle Choke.
Horn’s next fight took place at Bellator 30 on September 23, 2010, where he faced off against Bryan Baker, who was coming off a loss in the Bellator Season Two Middleweight Tournament Finals. Baker battled back from some early trouble, where he fought off an early Guillotine Choke in his bout with Horn, before taking control of the contest for the final two frames, when Horn seemed to slow down. In the end Baker was awarded the Decision (Unanimous).
