He began preparing under local guidance in Louisiana, encouraged by friends who recognized his raw athletic potential from gridiron experience. This period marked his entry into mixed martial arts, blending wrestling fundamentals with striking and endurance training to adapt to the cage environment. Jordan's amateur MMA career commenced with a debut loss via TKO (punches) to Scott Barrett on February 9, 2008, in a regional Louisiana event, shortly after his LSU football days.

Fighting style and accomplishments

Fighting approach

Shawn Jordan competed primarily as a striker renowned for his knockout power, securing 15 of his 19 professional victories by KO or TKO. His punching force was often described as devastating, likened to sledgehammers due to his explosive athleticism and ability to deliver heavy shots in close range. This striking prowess drew from his background as a fullback at , where he developed a robust physicality suited for colliding with opponents and maintaining drive in high-impact exchanges. Complementing his stand-up game, Jordan possessed a solid grappling foundation from his high school wrestling career, where he earned two Texas state championships, enabling him to secure three submission wins and defend takedowns effectively in many bouts. However, his overall approach emphasized aggressive forward pressure, pushing the pace with relentless striking advances to overwhelm foes early, a tactic that aligned with his "Savage" moniker but occasionally left openings for counters. This high-output style, while effective against slower heavyweights, highlighted vulnerabilities in cardio endurance during prolonged engagements and grappling defense against skilled wrestlers, as seen in several career setbacks. Jordan honed his skills at prominent training camps, including in for periods focused on well-rounded development and striking refinement, and in , where he benefited from the gym's emphasis on strategic fight IQ and heavyweight-specific drills.

Although Jordan never captured a major MMA championship, he secured several significant victories in the against ranked or notable opponents. Notable among these was his first-round TKO win over Pat Barry, a former top-15 , at UFC on 8 in 2013, which highlighted his knockout prowess. Another key achievement was his second-round TKO (punches) victory over at UFC Fight Night 68 in 2015, following a hook kick—a bout against an emerging contender who later became UFC Champion. Early in his career, Jordan went on an impressive 9–2 run over 11 fights from 2009 to 2010, during which he finished 8 of those wins inside the distance, building momentum toward his entry into major promotions. His overall career included shorter streaks, such as a three-fight winning run in 2014-2015 within the UFC, but no extended title contention followed.
