Gordon’s early career saw him fighting across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Mexico, amassing an impressive 12-1 record.
His ability to adapt was on display as he competed in both the featherweight and lightweight categories, even securing the Cage Fury Fighting Championship featherweight title.

This achievement paved his way to the UFC, where he made his debut back in 2017, securing victories in his first two fights.
Despite facing setbacks – including losses to opponents such as Charles Oliveira – Gordon demonstrated resilience by bouncing back with outstanding wins, including victories over Mark Madsen and Joe Solecki.

His UFC career so far has been nothing short of amazing, with a career record of 20-6 (1).
