Kyle Noke

Background
A resident of Mooloolaba, located south of Noosa on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia, Noke worked in security to hone his skills; guarding "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin.

Noke served as Irwin's bodyguard for three years during Irwin's heyday as host of the Australian-based nature show.

Noke's job was eventually changed to train "The Crocodile Hunter" between filming sessions. Noke and another bodyguard worked with Irwin on boxing, jiu jitsu and wrestling.

During his time with Irwin, Noke bounced between the U.S. and Australia as he continued to rack up professional victories; he found the tutelage of renowned trainer Greg Jackson.

In September 2006 Noke got word that Irwin had died. He went back to security at the zoo where Irwin worked but soon afterward decided that he needed to go after his dream of being a mixed martial artist.

UFC career
Noke beat Kendall Grove in a Middleweight match up on the Preliminary Card for UFC 7 by KO, in his 2nd fight he knocked out Sakara in the first round at UFC 12, Noke beat Vitor Belfort by KO at UFC 2O, Noke lost a middleweight title fight at UFC 24 by TKO against Anderson Silva, Noke lost his next fight at UFC 30 against Yushin Okami by TKO.
