'''Anthony Macias''' (born February 9, 1969) is a retired American [[mixed martial arts|mixed martial artist]]. His nickname, "Mad Dog", comes from the way he fights, reflected by the fact that only three of his 44 fights ended via decision.

==Mixed martial arts career==
===Early career===
Macias began his career during the infancy of the sport in 1994, facing the future [[UFC]] champion [[Dan Severn]] at [[UFC 4]]. Macias was defeated via first-round submission. Macias appeared again in the [[UFC 6]] tournament, defeating He-Man Gipson via first-round TKO. Later he faced [[Oleg Taktarov]], losing via submission in the first round.

After compiling a record of 15-5, he was slated to return to major promotions.

===PRIDE Fighting Championships===
Macias made his PRIDE debut at [[PRIDE Fighting Championships|PRIDE 7]], against legendary [[Japanese people|Japanese]] fighter [[Kazushi Sakuraba]]. Macias lost via second-round submission.

Macias returned to the promotion three years later at [[PRIDE Fighting Championships|PRIDE The Best Volume 1]], facing [[Eiji Mitsuoka]]. Macias was defeated via unanimous decision.
