Gordon (7-3) took a little over a minute to knockout Dhiego Lima in the TUF 19 middleweight final, but has struggled in the Octagon ever since. He enters the fight with Junior on the heels of back-to-back losses to Josh Samman and Chris Dempsey.

Having won the TUF Brazil 3 heavyweight tournament, Junior (4-1) has also found it difficult to gain any traction in the Octagon.
