Richard Allen Crunkilton (born November 25, 1979) is an American mixed martial artist. He competes in the Lightweight division. He defeated Sergio Gomez on March 26, 2008 at WEC 33. He was scheduled to face Donald Cerrone at WEC 34, but was forced off the card with an injury.[1] Crunkilton was forced to withdraw from his bout with Bart Palaszewski at WEC 39 because of a knee injury.[2] He was again scheduled to fight Donald Cerrone on June 7, 2009 at WEC 41, but dropped out due to another undiclosed injury.[3]
Crunkilton made his return from injury at WEC 43 where he lost by decision to WEC newcomer Dave Jansen.[4]
