Jordan Leavitt no longer embarrassed to be a pro fighter after life changing KO win at UFC Vegas 16

UFC lightweight Jordan Leavitt is proof that things can change in the world of MMA very, very quickly.

“The Monkey King” went from averaging one fight per year due to scarce opponents to more than doubling his pro appearances since December 2019, including a successful appearance on Dana White’s Contender Series to earn a UFC contract. He then pulled off a jaw-dropping octagon debut at UFC Vegas 16 that changed his life. The victory earned him his first performance bonus.

To say his last year has been crazy would be an understatement.
