Dean Lister was born on the 13th of February 1976 in San Diego, California. Still, he spent most of his Childhood in Panama and Venezuela with his family, who were stationed in these countries and belonged to the military.
Being constantly the "new kid" in school, he was often in fights and had a rough time growing up due to bullying. When he was 10 years old, Dean Lister read about Jiu Jitsu for the first time through an article in a magazine, but it wouldn't be until years later that he would have his first BJJ class. When Dean returned to the United States to start high school, he took on wrestling as an extracurricular activity. His coach, Jerry Matsumoto, was also versed in submissions, mainly leg locks, as he had some sambo experience. Dean Lister learned both wrestling and some basic sambo techniques, which he became very savvy. Dean ended up testing himself in Sambo and had great success in the sport within the United States, winning two national titles. Dean Lister found jiu Jitsu shortly after he finished high school; he was very interested in the sport due to its success in mixed martial arts and decided to join Fabio Santos' gym. These were tough times in Dean Lister's life as he had just joined College and was on his own, being a full-time worker, paying for his school tuition, rent, and jiu-jitsu. Dean Lister stated in an interview on the "On The Mat" website that his diet at the time consisted of: "bread, milk, cereal and top ramen(…)" Dean Lister spent 8 years training with the gi, competing and winning tournaments for his instructor Fabio Santos, but he ended up splitting from Santos before receiving his black belt. There is a lot of speculation regarding how Lister got his black belt, but the main story circling in the BJJ forums is that Dean always had the idea of becoming an MMA fighter one day. He saw Jiu-Jitsu as a way to progress towards that. Though his master Fabio Santos completely disagreed and did not want him to proceed through that route, they disagreed so much that Dean left the gym. One of Lister's training partners at the academy, Jeffrey Higgs (a black belt under Fabio Santos), decided to award Lister his black belt. Santos was against this decision and expelled Higgs from the academy. Lister proved he belonged amongst the black belt elite, winning the ADCC in the open weight division that year. Dean had tried his luck in Abu Dhabi Combat Club (ADCC) in 2000 and won his first match, losing the second to Ricardo Almeida. Lister ended up competing in the American trials two years later, being advised to do so by "Kid Peligro." He won the difficulties and proceeded to the finals, again losing in his second fight (this time to Xande Ribeiro). By a stroke of luck, he was re-called the following day to fight in the open weight due to an injury of one of the fighters that were due to fight. For most people in the audience, Lister won the tournament and submitted 3 of his 4 opponents. His MMA career flourished after the exposure given by ADCC. Dean Lister went on to fight in the world's most prominent organizations, Pride FC and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). He also became an influential coach with experience training professional MMA fighters like Tito Ortiz. Dean was on the Ultimate Fighter series 7 (TUF7) as a grappling coach for team Ortiz.
