Mixed martial arts career

World Extreme Cagefighting

After accumulating a 7–7 record to start his career, Healy signed on with small upstart promotion, World Extreme Cagefighting. Healy made his debut at WEC 15 against Chris Lytle, losing via a close split decision.

Healy didn't fight for the promotion for an entire year, before returning at WEC 19 against Tiki Ghosn. The fight was called off after Ghosn injured his shoulder and was declared unable to continue.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

In 2006, Healy was signed to fight The Ultimate Fighter veteran, Anthony Torres, at UFC Fight Night 6. Torres took Healy down and controlled him on the ground before securing a rear naked choke ending the fight midway through round one.

Maximum Fighting Championships

When Healy signed with the Canadian promotion, Maximum Fighting Championships, he was immediately named the number one contender for the MFC welterweight title.

His title shot came at MFC 17 against the then champion, Ryan Ford. Healy won the fight via submission in the third round. His first and only title defense was a rematch against Ford. Healy again won the fight by a narrow split decision. Healy relinquished his title after signing with Strikeforce.
