[edit] Biography
Chris is married to Kristin and has four children, Keagan, 11, Caylan, 10, Corrine, 5, and Jake, 3. Chris is employed as a fireman at the Warren Township Fire Department when he's not fighting.
[edit] Martial arts background
Lytle started training for fighting in 1998, saying that it was "something to keep me active." He has held championships in the Hook N' Shoot and Absolute Fighting Championship promotions, and recently won the Cage Rage World Welterweight Championship. He is the 175 lb Indiana state boxing champion, saying, "By the end of the year, I think I'll have a few more smaller boxing titles."
He was a contestant on The Ultimate Fighter 4 on Spike TV, where he defeated Pete Spratt and Din Thomas in exhibition bouts to proceed to the welterweight finale. On November 11th, Matt Serra defeated Lytle by split decision in The Ultimate Fighter 4 Finale. Two judges scored the bout 30-27 for Serra, and one judge scored the fight 30-27 for Lytle, and despite the scores the match was very close.
His preferred technique is the choke, citing his flexibility as a factor in enabling him to execute choke submissions.
