About Rob: Rob McCullough is the textbook definition of a self-made man of the streets. Now a top-ranked lightweight MMA fighter and champion kickboxer, most would be surprised to discover that Razor Rob’s humble beginnings began when he left his family to live on the streets by himself.

“My mom couldn’t afford me. I come from a big family, with six sisters. I tried to help my mom and get a job, but I realized nobody was going to hire me. I was 13. They’d pay me under the table, but it wasn’t enough. So I decided one day I was going to just pack up. She was getting ready for work. I told her I was going to visit some friends on the beach, I just packed up a bag and took off. It was five years before I saw her again.”

Rob jumped from couch to couch, crashing at friends’ homes and finding trouble with gangs. “All the guys I grew up with down there are in jail now, except for me. One of them is dead.”

But amidst his reckless lifestyle, Rob discovered kickboxing at a local gym. He started training in 1995 and had his first amateur fight a year later. He fought as a Pro-Am (Professional-Amateur) for the next five years, where he amassed a 35-2 record, holding as many as 10 championship titles at one time. In 2001, Razor Rob finally went professional, quickly winning the IMTC Intercontinental welterweight title from William Sriyapai in a unanimous decision.

Razor Rob owns an impressive MMA record of 15-4-0, with 9 KO’s. His seven-match winning streak since 2004 has yet to enter a third round. And with an impressive first round knockout over WEC ..1 contender Olaf Alfonso, Rob is now considered one of the top lightweight strikers in the world.
