Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: A few issues: (1) there are a few citation issues - the sentence Robinson had a brief career in mixed martial arts and paragraph On 23 February 2001, he fought for the promotion, Ultimate Fighting Championship at the event UFC 30. He faced Bobby Hoffman and was knocked out in the first round. However Hoffman failed a drug test for marijuana and the decision was changed to a no-contest both need a citation; and (2) could you explain the reliability of BJJHeroes.com? If you can clear up these issues I can approve. Also, I've made a minor change in the hook (capitalization).

@BeanieFan11: For (1), I have updated both parts to have a citation. For (2) BJJ Heroes is a website built for the Brazilian jiu-jitsu enthusiasts. It contains in-depth information about the sport especially in the biography sections of accomplished practitioners. Its usually cited on Wikipedia when it comes to entries of notable competitive grapplers or MMA fighters with notable grappling achievements. Robinson does not have his own biography entry on the website because he is technically not a BJJ practitioner (at least from what I can find). I would argue that the info on him from this website would be more independent since he is not a BJJ practitioner and therefore would have less motive to "promote" him. His accomplishments are simply too big to trivialize. Regarding his accomplishments at world championship level, I have verified them as cited on his article page.
