Bobby "The Truth" Hoffman (born October 28, 1966) is a retired American mixed martial artist who competed in the Heavyweight division. He is the former King of the Cage Super Heavyweight Champion as well as the former King of the Cage Heavyweight Champion. Having made his professional debut in 1998, Hoffman has also formerly competed for the UFC, RINGS, and Jungle Fight.
Hoffman found mixed martial arts, then known as "shootfighting," after being released from jail, spending 92 consecutive days in solitary confinement for assault charges. Hoffman, a talented wrestler and football player, attended Ellsworth Community College and the University of Akron before leaving college a year early to compete in the NFL for the Cleveland Browns. Hoffman spent half of a season with the team before being released. Two days out of jail, Hoffman attended a local fight and after the originally scheduled fighter did not show up, spectators were actually asked if they wanted to step in for the absent fighter. Hoffman accepted the challenge, and won the bout.
Hoffman compiled a professional record of 8-1 before making his debut for the SuperBrawl organization in Hawaii on September 7, 1999. After losing his first fight of the night against Josh Barnett via unanimous decision, Hoffman later defeated future Pride Heavyweight Championship contender, Heath Herring via unanimous decision and then Hoffman knocked out future UFC Heavyweight Champion, Ricco Rodriguez. After following this up with two more wins, Hoffman was invited to compete for the RINGS organization in Japan.
