Bobby Southworth is a highly accomplished mixed martial artist and coach with a wealth of experience in the world of combat sports. He holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which he earned under the renowned coach Dave Camarillo, and has competed at the highest levels of the sport. A veteran of the UFC and PRIDE FC, Bobby first gained widespread recognition on Season 1 of The Ultimate Fighter. He later transitioned to Strikeforce, where he became the inaugural Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion, successfully defending his title to cement his legacy in the promotion.

Throughout his career, Bobby competed against some of the sport’s top fighters, earning victories through both knockout and submission. One of his most notable moments was his title defense in Strikeforce, where he became the only fighter to successfully defend the Light Heavyweight Championship. Despite setbacks, including a memorable bout with Renato "Babalu" Sobral, Bobby’s grit and determination in the cage have earned him the respect of both fans and fighters alike.

Bobby founded the American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) - San Antonio in 2022 and has been a dedicated coach, helping to shape the next generation of martial artists. His deep understanding of both striking and grappling makes him a highly sought-after coach in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA.
