Carlston Lindsay Harris[3] (born July 9, 1987) is a Guyanese mixed martial artist who competes in the Welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Having left Guyana in 2007 in search of better job prospects, Harris moved to Manaus, Brazil, working as a mechanic.
Treating boxing and luta livre as a hobby, he decided to make martial arts his full time job after buying a pirated DVD of the first B.J.
Soon after, his coach, Junior Lopes, suggested that Harris move to Rio de Janeiro and continue his training at Renovação Fight Team (RFT) under Marcio "Cromado" Ramos Barbosa.
Two months later, Harris scored his first MMA victory submitting Bruno Renascer in the first round, followed by another decision loss in March 2012.
Turning his career around, he put on a winning streak after his 1–2 start and defeated the likes of Michel Pereira, Joilton Lutterbach, and Wellington Turman to get noticed by Brave Combat Federation.

[6] In his first defence off the title, Harris faced Jarrah Hussein Al-Silawi at Brave CF 16 on September 21, 2018.
