Mixed martial arts career

Robinson made his UFC debut at UFC 73 against The Ultimate Fighter's Kenny Florian on July 7, 2007.[2] Robinson was defeated in the 1st round. Florian tripped Robinson to the mat before moving to side-control.[3] Florian then transitioned into mount before pounding away until Robinson tapped due to strikes.[3]

He defeated Jorge Gurgel via unanimous decision at UFC 77.[4]

Robinson signed with Bellator Fighting Championships to face Georgi Karakhanyan on September 9, 2010, in New Orleans.[5] However, Robinson was forced out of the bout due to an injury and was replaced by Anthony Leone.
