to wrestle and grapple better so it’s turn into a life passion of mine. Its fun and I have a lot of guys who train under me a lot of police officers and younger kids and a lot of new guys from the WCL, the Chuck Norris League. So its cool to kind of see the grandfather of my sport, showing a guy one thing and showing another guy who is now teaching another guy its really cool you know? S*%t I would have done it for free.


OTM: I got an opportunity to see one of your fighters at the last Fist Series MMA show Travis McRoberts, now he showed a lot of MMA skill in the ring. That has to be one of the best fights I have ever seen in MMA, both him and his opponent brawled and gave a show. Tell us about the guys you have up and coming?

Razor Rob: Yeah, I have Travis McRoberts, Sebastian Lopez, Randy Bowers, and other guys who are coming up and kind of doing their thing in the WCL and in Mixed Martial Arts. Travis started as one of my sparring partners and I was like wow your not bad dude and he told me he came from Chuck Liddell’s school. He was just kind of hanging out and decided he wanted to be a fireman and his parents totally supported him and then he realized fighting was his passion. From there he wanted to go forward full swing and decided to do so and I told him I’ll help him as much as I can. The fight that he had at the Fist Series was one of the craziest fights I have seen in a while, it got fight of the night before the fights were even over with which blew my mind I’ve never seen that before.


OTM: Now anybody that wants to come down and train under you I know you guys have the HB ultimate Training Center. What can people find there, what do you offer?

Razor Rob: Yeah, here at the HB Ultimate Training Center we got a whole array of stuff, we teach Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Submission Wrestling and we have Mauy Thai classes, sparing classes and cardio classes which basically entail Mauy Thai on the bags. Right now that’s kind of like our biggest thing, everyone is trying to get in shape through fighting and wanting to be in fighting shape per say. I do teach all the 9am classes and stand up sparring classes and sometimes I do participate in the sparring classes to jump in there with some of the guys and see how they do. We have a full weight room and showers and have classes that start at 7am, so some people come in before work and then they take a shower and go to work. We also have afternoon classes 1215pm; we have kid’s classes at 4pm. With the kid’s classes we have kids kickboxing and kids jujitsu, we also have 515, 630 and 745pm classes. You have to come down and check it out if you are down in the neighborhood, some people come in with their camera and just take pictures. The address for our location is 19400 Beach Blvd in Huntington Beach, you can’t miss it its right on the corner of Beach and Yorktown.


OTM: Looking back we all know you have been around for a very long time, I remember first seeing you fight at the King of the Cage and I just said dam that guy has some Hard leg kicks. Now fast forward to 2008 with the explosion of the sport and how it’s grown, where do you see yourself in 5 years.

Razor Rob: Well my girlfriend is currently pregnant so I will be a Dad and hopefully just tearing it up, having fun doing what I do. I do enjoy my career that I got to pick “do what you love and you will love what you do”. I never got into fighting in general just to make money or be rich or do anything like that, I just did it because I had a lot of aggression as a kid. You know I came from a broken home, my parents split up and we had a big family and I thought I could do this on my own and I just never looked back. A lot of people told me hey you are not going to make it, you’re a white kid and you live in orange county and no one going to take you serious. After everything though I turned all those haters into believers and now they are getting front row tickets for my fights and saying hey I say you on VS channel the other night. So you know what it’s cool I see the future pretty bright for myself, getting in there and getting my belt back in the WEC and just doing my thing.


OTM: Congratulations first off on the baby coming, are you hoping for a boy or girl?

Razor Rob: You know I’m just hoping for a healthy baby, you know I’d love a boy but I’m sure I’m going to get a girl (laughs), healthy is good for me.


OTM: Any thing you want to say to your Razor Rob fans out there?

Razor Rob: Yeah, I got RazorRob.TV, if you go to that website I do a tip of the month and you can check out past tips and I break it down on a video format so you can see on the website. I also sell my clothing on that website or if you go to Razorclothing.tv I got a whole line of clothing about to blow up as well. I have girl stuff, guy stuff like hoodies and tank tops just cool stuff you would wear training and just cool stuff you would were out just in general.


OTM: Well, thank you very much Rob for the interview .

Razor Rob: Thanks brother.
