BIOGRAPHY
Rob Jones is an Irish-American fighter competing in the lightweight division of Global Combat Championships. He trains out of the T.W Combat Sports fight camp based in Staten island, led by longtime head coach 'Little' Jay Williams. Rob began competing in amateur kickboxing at the young age of fifteen. After a few years he decided to try mixed martial arts. After training for a little over a year he made his professional debut for Union GP in early 2019 defeating Warren Leibowitz and Gina VanZant amassing a 2-0 record. Only three months after his debut Rob was thrust in the middle of a witch-hunt where several other fighters claimed that he was abusing PED's which Rob denied before parting ways with Union. After a couple months Rob's luck turned around when he was contacted by GCC president Fazan Ali-Khan. Rob quickly signed a contract with the upstart promotion and made history on August 17th 2019 when he became the first male to win inside the GCC.
