Patrick Clive Williams (born September 7, 1981) is an American mixed martial artist who formerly competed in the Bantamweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. A professional competitor since 2010, he has also formerly competed for the Xtreme Fighting Championships in his native Florida.

Background

Born and raised in Miami alongside 11 other siblings, Williams began wrestling in middle school and was talented, going undefeated in his first two full seasons. At South Dade Senior High School, he was a two-time state champion and a runner-up. Williams also competed in track and field, lettering in three seasons. After attending Neosho County Community College in Chanute, Kansas for two years with one year yielding a third-place finish nationally, he later transferred to Arizona State University, competing for the Sun Devils. After a lackluster junior year where he finished with a 9-13 record, Williams came back his senior year and found more success; finishing at 29-14, and went undefeated 7-0 in conference dual matches.[2] Williams graduated ASU with a degree in interdisciplinary studies, and worked as a case manager for a Dual Diagnostic Juvenile Detention Center.[3]
