Originally from Sunderland, England, Ross Pearson began his martial arts journey at a young age, training in Taekwondo and Judo. At 13, he added boxing to his training, and by the age of 16, Ross had committed himself to pursuing a career in Mixed Martial Arts.

His dedication and competitive drive saw him go on to win multiple British and European titles before earning his opportunity on the world stage.

In 2009, Ross was selected to compete on the UFC's The Ultimate Fighter: Team UK vs. Team USA, one of the most prestigious opportunities in MMA at the time. Ross went on to win the season, earning his place in the UFC and making his Octagon debut soon after.

He also returned to The Ultimate Fighter as a coach for The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes, representing the UK and continuing to share his experience with the next generation of fighters.
