Jeremiah Wells
Career overview
Jeremiah Wells is a 38-year-old American switch-stance welterweight with a 13-4-1 professional record who combines grappling aggression with striking volume. Over his career, Wells averages 2.35 strikes landed per minute with 46% accuracy while absorbing 1.28 strikes per minute and defending 48% of incoming strikes—a profile of a measured striker who maintains defensive discipline.
His wrestling remains his primary offensive weapon, averaging 3.06 takedown attempts per 15 minutes at 46% accuracy, though his 50% takedown defense suggests vulnerability to skilled grapplers. With 1.3 submission attempts per 15 minutes and an 11.4 knockout score, Wells presents multiple finishing threats.
Recent performances show mixed results: he earned a unanimous decision over Themba Gorimbo in November 2025, but suffered a submission loss to Carlston Harris in August 2023 and a split-decision defeat to Max Griffin in February 2024. Earlier in his career, Wells displayed explosive finishing power, recording first-round knockouts against Court McGee and Warlley Alves.
His 5-2 record over his last seven fights demonstrates competitiveness at the welterweight level, though inconsistency has prevented him from establishing consistent momentum in the division.
