At UFC Fight Night: Machida vs. Romero, back on June 27th, Eddie Gordon entered the Octagon looking shredded. Well, he got on the scales looking shredded too, but it was a more stark contrast on fight night, where Gordon looked ever bit the lean fighter he had on the scales the day before. A far cry from the man that appeared gassed out in three minutes, when he fought Chris Dempsey back in April.
While Gordon was technically outmatched against Antonio Carlos Jr., for the first time in the UFC he didn't look like he was constantly sucking air and tiring badly.
