Jamie Russell Pickett[1] (born August 29, 1988) is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the Middleweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Background[]

Pickett lived with his grandparents growing up in Chinquapin, North Carolina, as his father was in prison and his mom, a drug user, left the family when he was young.[5][6] His mom came back for her three kids — Pickett and his two half-brothers — when Pickett was eight, but she wasn't off drugs. The government eventually got involved, and after a battle in court, Pickett ended up living with his dad's parents, while his two half-brothers lived with his mom's parents, beginning at the age of nine or ten.[5] Pickett initially started training Brazilian jiu-jitsu at the age of 19 and dabbled into mixed martial arts in 2009.[6] Jamie ended up dropping out of high school at East Duplin High School in North Carolina[citation needed]
