Jake Collier (born October 23, 1988) is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the Heavyweight division and competed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Background[edit]

With no background in sports, Collier started Brazilian jiu-jitsu to lose weight at the age of 20.[4] Eventually he started competing in the sport, quickly taking his first amateur mixed martial arts bout.[4]

After compiling an amateur record of 12–2, Collier made his professional debut in November 2010. He competed primarily for regional organizations around his native state of Missouri. He amassed a record of 8–1 before signing with the UFC on the heels of a first round rear naked choke finish of Gabriel Checco at RFA 19.[5]
