Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Jacob was introduced to jiu-jitsu when he was 11. By the age of 15, he had already won every tournament in the United States. He finished 3rd in the world as a purple belt at 18 in the adult class. Jacob took a while off before returning to competition and winning the nationals as a brown belt against Clark Gracie; a member of the famed Gracie family. [1]

Jacob is a black belt under Gustavo Dantas. McClintock’s nickname, “Tick-Tock”, was given to him by another ACS teammate who said that, “it’s only a matter of time before he wins his fight". [2] [3]

Mixed martial arts

When he was 12 he began his mixed martial arts training at Elite Performance in Phoenix, Arizona but then moved over to Arizona Combat Sports. He made his pro debut in 2007 when he defeated Jason Ward at the event Proving Grounds 1.

He continued his winning ways with wins over Adam Liston and Eric Regan. His record improved to 4-0 after defeating Zach Taylor, an undefeated fighter, Jacob won after knocking out Taylor midway through the first round. [4]

At fightFORCE 2, Jaocb took on highly praised Russian fighter Sultan Tikhayev. [5] Sultan dominated Jacob throughout the first round with devastating ground and pound until the final seconds when Jacob caught Sultan with an armbar submission. [5] The fight was held in Russia, Sultan's home country. [5]

Jacob was set to fight TUF alumni, Paul Bradley and War Machine, but due to scheduling issues, both fights were canceled. [3] McClintock instead fought on the UWC 7: Redemption card on October 3, 2009 in Fairfax, Virginia. [6] After showing great clinch work, he defeated his opponent, Beau Baker via technical knockout midway through round one. Jacob did not make weight for the fight, weighing in five pounds over and took a small pay cut. [7]

Bellator Fighting Championships

On November 22, McClintock signed with upstart promotion, Bellator Fighting Championships. [8]

At Bellator 15, McClintock had his first fight in the welterweight tournament. Originally, McClintock was set to fight against English judoka, Jim Wallhead. [9] However, after Wallhead had to pull out of the bout due to flight issues caused by the 2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull, Ryan Thomas stepped in as his replacement. [10] McClintock lost the fight near the end of the first round via TKO.

McClintock competed in a tournament qualifier fight at Bellator 30 against Brent Weedman. McClintock took his second loss after being defeated by Weedman via TKO midway through round one. Winning would have gained McClintock entry to the season four welterweight tournament. [11] After the loss he was released from the promotion.

Post Bellator

McClintock was set to return to competition at Jeff Curran's Xtreme Fighting Organization 39 on May 13, 2011 against journeymen Dan Gilbert. [12] However, for unknown reasons, the fight never took place.

McClintock attended the tryouts for The Ultimate Fighter: Live , but was not selected to participate after it was announced as an all lightweight cast. Instead, McClintock returned from a year and a half MMA hiatus, fighting Darius Yancy at Coalition of Combat: The Banger's Ball on February 25, 2012. McClintock won the fight via submission (triangle choke) in the first round. On September 21, 2012 McClintock made his first trip to Brazil for the fight card Brasil Fight 6.
