Nicholas Dominic Osipczak (born 30 December 1984) is an English professional mixed martial artist, most famous for his fights and wins in the welterweight division of the UFC. He was also a cast member of Spike TV's The Ultimate Fighter: United States vs. United Kingdom. Nick is also known for being the one of the first people in history to represent the art of Tai Chi Chuan in Mixed Martial Arts competitions. In recent years, Nick has become increasingly well known for his paintings, and he categorises his Art as Sacred Geometry.
Osipczak was born in London to a Polish father and an American mother of English, German, Irish and Serbian descent. He was raised in South London until his youth. He attended St. Olaves Grammar School, from which he graduated in 2003, and he then enrolled at Loughborough University and obtained a bachelor's degree in Mathematics, Accounting and Financial Management, graduating in 2007.
At the age of 18 and while he was still attending his course at Loughborough University, Nick joined a local martial arts club, the Hung Kuen Shaolin Kung Fu Club. Being a diligent martial arts practitioner, he soon won the UK National Kung Fu Open Weight Championship. However, Nick was inspired to take up MMA after watching UFC's Ultimate Knockouts DVD, and started searching out the best places and coaches to train with up and down the United Kingdom.
