Jacob Allen O'Brien (born September 25, 1984) is an American professional mixed martial artist. He has fought as a Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight for the UFC, WEC, and DREAM.
Born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana, O'Brien attended Franklin Central High School where he competed in wrestling, football, and track and field. In wrestling, O'Brien was a three-time State Champion as a sophomore, junior, and senior, compiling an overall record of 152-9. O'Brien also earned four letters in football and one in track and field. O'Brien continued wrestling at Purdue University, and after redshirting his freshman year, posted a record of 14-18 in his sophomore season as the starting Heavyweight. However, this would be O'Brien's only year of wrestling at Purdue.
O'Brien made his professional mixed martial arts debut in 2005 and compiled a professional record of 7-0 which included a 14-second knockout win in the WEC, before being signed by the UFC.
O'Brien made his UFC debut at UFC Fight Night 6 on August 17, 2006 against Kristof Midoux and won via TKO in the second round. O'Brien followed this up with a unanimous decision victory at UFC 65 before facing Heath Herring at UFC Fight Night 8 on January 25, 2007. O'Brien picked up perhaps the biggest victory of his career, defeating the PRIDE veteran via unanimous decision.
