Mixed martial arts

Robin Black has been a known practitioner of Tae Kwon Do and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. In an early interview Robin was quoted as saying he felt safe traveling due to the security that the Tae Kwon Do training gave him. He was featured on a MuchMusic program titled "Robin Black: Cage Fighter".^[2] On the program, Black trained with mixed martial artists Georges St-Pierre, Sam Stout, Mark Hominick, Dan Smith, Charlotte Savage, and Andrew Bradbury.

Black was also a guest commentator at an XMMA show in Montreal featuring David Loiseau.^[3] This marked the first time that Robin did 'color' commentary for fights. Robin has since been brought in to interview fighters between rounds at Warrior-1 MMA - Inception, WRECK MMA, CFC and others.

Black's first professional MMA match was a loss against Chris "The Pitbull" Myra, a tattoo artist in Pembroke, Ontario, Canada. In his second professional match in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, on November 28, 2008, Black was submitted early in the first round by Janz Stein.

He scored his first win on February 6, 2009 against Moncton, New Brunswick native Stephane Poirier. Black choked Poirier with a triangle choke submission two minutes and fifty seven seconds into the first round of the bout.^[4]

Black and Poirier would later rematch for the first ELITE 135 pound Championship belt. Again, Black submitted Poirier in the first round, this time with a rear naked choke, to be crowned the first ever ELITE FC 135 pound Champion.

Robin next fought in Edmonton, Alberta at Adrenaline MMA against Corey Lautischer (1-1). Lautischer submitted Black via guillotine choke to secure the win, thirty-one seconds into the first round.

Robin then went on to defeat Matt Knysh via TKO in round 2 on February 5, 2010.^[5]

Black's win over Knysh earned him HD Net's 'Highlight of the Week' as voted by Randy Couture, Mike Swick and Bobby Lashley.

He then fought against Eric "Pizza" Perez in which he lost via TKO in round 1 on June 4, 2010 in Winnipeg, MB.

Black's eighth fight was against Mike Reilly on Jan 28th, where he lost 57 seconds into the first round after Mike managed to trap him in an armbar. Black then retired from professional MMA.

Black then began training for a rematch with Chris "The PitBull" Myra, ending his retirement. When asked why he decided to return to combat Robin answered, "You know sometimes you just have to prove it to yourself one more time." Unfortunately for Robin, Myra was unable to meet the medical requirements and the fight was canceled at the last minute.

After a near 2-year hiatus, Robin returned to the cage at the inaugural SLAMM: Tristar Fights event on November 30, 2012, submitting opponent Derek Charbonneau via Kimura armlock in the 2nd round, bringing his MMA record to 4-5 (W-L).^[6]
