Peter Sobotta (born January 11, 1987) is a Polish-German mixed martial artist who currently competes in the Welterweight division of the UFC.
Background
Sobotta was born in Zabrze, Poland and grew up in the small German town of Balingen. His childhood hero was Jackie Chan, who inspired him to take up martial arts, beginning with judo and then Tae Kwon Do. He then took up Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu-jitsu when an MMA school opened near his home town.[2]
Mixed martial arts career
Early career
Sobotta had his first professional mixed martial arts fight at the age of 17, and compiled a record of 8-1 before being signed by the UFC.
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Sobotta made his UFC debut at UFC 99 against Paul Taylor. After three rounds, Sobotta lost via unanimous decision.
Sobotta was scheduled to have his second UFC fight against DaMarques Johnson at UFC 105, but due to a military commitment for Sobotta, the bout was canceled.[3][4]
Instead, Sobotta fought James Wilks at UFC 115, losing by decision.[5]
He then faced The Ultimate Fighter 7 winner, Amir Sadollah on November 13, 2010 at UFC 122.[6] He lost the fight via unanimous decision and was promptly released from the promotion along with Goran Reljic and Seth Petruzelli.[7]
After three years on the independent circuit, going 5-0 in the process, Sobotta was re-signed by the UFC.[8] He faced UFC newcomer Pawel Pawlak at UFC Fight Night 41 on May 31, 2014.[9] Sobatta defeated the Polish fighter by unanimous decision to earn his first UFC victory.
Sobotta was expected to face Sérgio Moraes on April 11, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 64.[10] However, Sobotta was forced out of the bout citing injury and was replaced by Gasan Umalatov.[11]
