Jordan Leavitt

Jordan Leavitt, fighting out of the United States with a 13-3-0 professional record, is a southpaw lightweight whose recent form shows mixed results across eight UFC appearances (5-3). The 28-year-old operates as a well-rounded grappler with submission prowess, averaging 3.15 takedowns per 15 minutes while maintaining a 1.1 submission average that reflects his threat on the ground.

Leavitt lands 2.21 strikes per minute with 57% accuracy and defends 58% of incoming strikes, though his 34% takedown accuracy and 30% takedown defense suggest inconsistency in exchanges. His exceptional cardio score of 9.4 enables him to maintain pace throughout fights, complemented by a respectable 7.5 knockout score.

Recent performances illustrate his volatility: he submitted Kurt Holobaugh in the first round (May 2025) and earned a unanimous decision over Yadier del Valle (February 2026), but suffered a first-round submission loss to Chase Hooper (November 2023) and fell to Paddy Pimblett via submission in round two (July 2022). His submission-heavy approach has produced early finishes against Matt Sayles and Matt Wiman, though he's vulnerable to skilled grapplers at the lightweight level.

Leavitt remains a developmental prospect seeking consistency against ranked competition.
