Jared Gordon

Jared Gordon (born September 6, 1988) is an American mixed martial artist. He was the lightweight champion of Duelo de Gigantes in Mexico and featherweight champion for Cage Fury Fighting Championships in the United States. He currently competes in the lightweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Gordon was born and raised in Queens, New York. The grandson of late professional boxer Sal Ferello, Gordon started boxing and wrestling at a young age and he was obsessed with MMA when he was in high school. He found an MMA school, Combined MMA, and started training BJJ. Gordon spent most of his adolescence in Westport CT attending Staples High School. In his time in Westport Gordon learned valuable skills from his uncle Oliver Barkley. Four months later, at age of 17, Gordon fought his first amateur MMA fight. He taught boxing and Muay Thai at Church Street Boxing in New York prior to turning professional. During this time, he was trained by his coach Jason Strout.

Gordon is in long-term recovery from heavy drug use and would like to use the octagon as the platform to voice his support and give hope to those who suffer the same addiction.

Gordon amassed a record of 12–1 prior joining UFC. He was the lightweight champion of Duelo de Giagantes in Mexico and featherweight champion for Cage Fury Fighting Championship in the United States.

Gordon was scouted by Dana White on UFC web series show "Dana White: Looking for a fight" second-season episode two at Cage Fury Fighting Championships where Gordon won the Featherweight title that night. White was impressed with his performance and signed him onto UFC.

Gordon was scheduled his promotional debut to face Michel Quiñones at UFC 211. However, Gordon pulled out of the fight on the day before the event due to stomach illness and the bout was rescheduled to June 25, 2017, at UFC Fight Night: Chiesa vs. Lee in Oklahoma City. At the weigh-in, Gordon missed the required featherweight limit for the fight of 146Ibs. As a result, he was fined 20% of his pay, and the bouts proceeded at catchweight. Gordon secured his first UFC win on round two via TKO.

Gordon faced Hacran Dias at the lightweight bout on October 28, 2017, at UFC Fight Night 119. He won the fight via unanimous decision.

Gordon faced Carlos Diego Ferreira on February 18, 2018, at UFC Fight Night 126. He lost the fight via TKO in the first round. After the loss, Gordon decided to move to Milwaukee to train at Roufusport under Duke Roufus.
