Robert Alexander McCullough IV is an American Muay Thai kickboxer and mixed martial artist. A former WEC Lightweight Champion. He currently trains in Huntington Beach, California at HB Ultimate Training Center. His training partners include Jean Carrillo, Muay Thai coach; and Rob Natzel, strength and conditioning coach.

Life was difficult at times for McCullough and his seven siblings who were raised by a single mother. Constantly relocating, he remembers how other kids were not always welcoming when the family moved to a new neighborhood. "I dealt with bullying growing up as a kid because I was always the new guy at the school,"he says.

By the time he reached high school, a new challenge would shape his future.

"Going to a school with a lot of gangs at one point was kind of one of the things that got me to start and think, 'If I learned how to fight really well, people won't want to bother me at all,' " he says.

McCullough, known to his fans as "the Razor," didn't just learn to fight. He went on to become a World Extreme Cagefighting and five-time United World Muay Thai Association champion, making a successful career taking down opponents in the ring.

From a childhood with such challenges, McCullough found both a passion and an occupation. "I found sports. I found mixed martial arts; it was like therap."
