Peter Sobotta (born January 11, 1987) is a retired Polish-born German professional mixed martial artist.

Sobotta was born in Zabrze, Poland, on January 11, 1987, and grew up in the small German town of Balingen.

His childhood hero was Jackie Chan, who inspired him to take up martial arts, beginning with judo and then Kung Fu and Tae Kwon Do.

[4] Sobotta had his first professional mixed martial arts fight at the age of 17, and he compiled a record of 8–1, competing for several regional promotions across Europe, before being signed by the UFC in 2009.

[18] Sobotta lost the fight via TKO in the first round, after being dropped with a body kick, followed by punches on the ground.

[22] Before the bout, Sobotta announced he would henceforth represent Jamaica in the UFC, rather than continue to choose between Poland and Germany and offend the other.

[28] However, Sobotta was forced out of the bout, due to an undisclosed injury, and he was replaced by promotional newcomer Makhmud Muradov.

He chose to wear the Jamaican flag at his weigh-in for UFC Fight Night 109,[34] despite the fact that he has dual citizenship to both Poland and Germany.
