Cody Gibson

Cody Gibson, a 36-year-old Orthodox fighter from the United States, holds a professional record of 22-13-0 with a recent stretch of 3-5 over his last eight outings. Standing 5'10" with a 71-inch reach, Gibson operates as a balanced mixed martial artist who lands 3.63 strikes per minute at 46% accuracy while absorbing 3.22 per minute and maintaining 57% striking defense.

His grappling profile shows moderate activity with 2.12 takedown attempts per 15 minutes at 37% accuracy, though he defends takedowns effectively at 69%, and he averages 0.6 submissions per 15 minutes. Recent performances have been inconsistent: Gibson earned a unanimous decision victory over Chad Anheliger in November 2024, but suffered a devastating first-round knockout loss to Aoriqileng in October 2025 that lasted just 21 seconds, preceded by submission losses to Da'Mon Blackshear and Miles Johns via decision earlier in 2024.

His submission threat remains relevant—he submitted Brian Kelleher in the opening round during July 2024—but the recent knockout loss and submission defeats suggest declining durability at bantamweight. Gibson's cardio score of 49.2 indicates stamina concerns that may compound as he approaches his late thirties in a division requiring sustained pace.
