Background

Growing up in Kingston, Jamaica, Osbourne lived primarily with his grandmother and then his great grandmother. His mother had him when she was 18 and still in school, and his father moved away to England when he was seven. At the age of 9, Osbourne moved to Flatbush section of Brooklyn, New York. He would bounce around after that, making a stop in Florida where he played highschool football alongside Jacoby Brissette in William T. Dwyer High School.[2] After dropping football for wrestling, he exceled as a member of the school’s wrestling team, where he became a three time state finalist.[9] Osbourne enrolled at Wisconsin's Carroll University, where his high school coach Ben Tomes had just accepted a position. After reaching nationals as a freshman, Osbourne hit a bump in the road, as the wrestling program was shut down the ensuing year.[10][11]

Osbourne works as an assistant teacher for his full-time job.[12]

Osbourne made his amateur mixed martial arts debut in 2013, originally starting his training at small gym in Waukesha, Wisconsin. He made his mixed martial arts debut at NAFC: Explosion in 2015, he submitted Brent Lee via rear-naked choke in the second round, before defeating his next two opponents in David Rhodes and Doug Milbrath. He would then lose his first professional fight against Antonio Sanchez via unanimous decision at RFA 39, Osbourne faced Cory Galloway at Pure Fighting Championships 5, and went on to defeat him via split decision. Osbourne would lose against this time to Jose Luis Calvo via kneebar in the first minute of the bout at United Combat League: Havoc In Hammond 4. Osbourne would win his next three bouts; Seigenald Aurtan Daley Jr in the first round via triangle choke at Pure Fighting Championship 9, Daley Jr for the second time via TKO in round one at Pure FC 10, and finally Kelly Offield in round one via triangle choke at HD MMA 15.[13][14]
