Career

Jared Gordon began his MMA journey at 17, fighting his first amateur bout just four months after starting training at Combined MMA in New York. He turned professional on February 5, 2011, debuting with a unanimous decision loss but quickly building a 12-1 record, including a Lightweight title with Duelo de Gigantes in Mexico and a Featherweight title with CFFC in the U.S.

Scouted by Dana White on Dana White: Looking for a Fight in 2016, Gordon won the CFFC Featherweight title, earning a UFC contract. His UFC debut against Michel Quinones at UFC Fight Night: Chiesa vs. Lee on June 25, 2017, resulted in a second-round TKO victory, despite missing weight and forfeiting 20% of his purse.

Gordon’s early UFC career was a mix of triumphs and setbacks. He secured a unanimous decision win over Hacran Dias in October 2017 but suffered a first-round TKO loss to Carlos Diego Ferreira in February 2018, prompting a move to train at Roufusport in Milwaukee under Duke Roufus.

A third-round knockout loss to Joaquim Silva at UFC on Fox 31 in December 2018 earned him a Fight of the Night award, and despite the loss, he signed a new four-fight UFC contract. Gordon won unanimous decisions against Dan Moret (2019), Chris Fishgold (2020), and Danny Chavez (2021), though he faced challenges, including a first-round knockout loss to Charles Oliveira in November 2019 and missing weight against Chavez, costing him 30% of his purse.

Gordon’s recent performances have solidified his status as a Lightweight contender. He won a split decision over Joe Solecki in October 2021 but was submitted by Grant Dawson in April 2022. A unanimous decision victory over Leonardo Santos at UFC 278 in August 2022 preceded a controversial unanimous decision loss to Paddy Pimblett at UFC 282 in December 2022, with 23 of 24 media outlets scoring the fight for Gordon.

A no-contest against Bobby Green in April 2023 due to an accidental head clash was followed by a first-round TKO win over Mark O. Madsen at UFC 295 in November 2023. After a split decision loss to Nasrat Haqparast in June 2024, Gordon rebounded with a stunning first-round knockout of Thiago Moises at UFC Vegas 106 on May 17, 2025, earning a Performance of the Night award and improving his UFC record to 8-6-1.

He remains ranked #25 in the Lightweight division, training with Renzo Gracie in New York and aiming for a top-15 opponent.
