Bio

Jimmy Smith is an American mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter best known as the co-host of the reality television series Fight Quest, since December 2007.

With a record of six wins and one loss, Jimmy Smith is one of mixed martial arts' rising stars.

In the cage, the 5'10", 175-pound Smith is known as a lighting-fast grappler who can destroy opponents in under three minutes. When it comes to facing Smith, if you're not smart enough to "tap-out," you may end up with a snapped tendon ... or worse.

In addition to his MMA career, Smith has earned a Jiu-Jitsu Purple Belt and holds various Jiu-Jitsu titles including: the Joe Moreira Tournament Lightweight Champion, Copa Pacifica Welterweight Champion, Cleber Luciano Tournament Welterweight Champion, and the Paragon Tournament Champion.

Smith also placed third in the Southern California Submission Pro-Am and the 2003 Gracie Open.

Fighting is in Jimmy's blood: his grandfather was a boxer in the U.S. Army, and his father taught Jimmy the ins and outs of backyard brawling.

Smith officially began his fighting career in high school on the wrestling team. While studying history at UCLA he joined the Jiu-Jitsu team and further perfected his grappling skills.

After graduating from UCLA in 2000, Smith continued his martial arts studies with Team Punishment out of Huntington Beach.

He fought in his first pro fight with Team Punishment in 2001, then moved to Los Angeles, where he currently resides and continues to fight professionally.

When Smith is not traveling around the world kicking ass, he enjoys spending time on Venice Beach and rock climbing at Joshua Tree National Monument.
