One-armed MMA fighter Jake Peacock on dealing with discrimination and bullying growing up

One-armed MMA fighter Jake Peacock did not have it easy growing up.

Born in London, the Englishman grew up with an unexpected congenital amputation of his right hand. In the womb, a band of the amniotic sac was wrapped around his right arm in the early stages of development, which caused the lower half to stop growing.

Growing up, the MMA fighter faced relentless discrimination and was the target of school bullies due to his disability. He was looked at and treated differently than others, often dealing with name-calling, mean insults, and offensive gestures by his schoolmates. However, Peacock knew he had to harden himself and feed his passion for combat sports mentally. He began competing in karate at the age of 7.

In a 2022 interview with The Guardian, Jake Peacock outlined his challenges as a schoolboy. He stated:

"The bullying would just keep going and I knew it would never stop... Having a strong mindset was always there. Growing up with one hand really, really brought it out of me more... it made me more resilient for sure... Lots of people staring at my arm and commenting on it."
