BACKSTORY
For being just 24 years of age Jordan has accomplished quite more than a lot have in their entire lives. At the age of 15 he was being recruited to play basketball by major college programs, but gave that up when he signed with RiSE, a new developmental wrestling school/Brand for HKW. Which as at the time HKW was one of the premier wrestling companies. He’d also make another surprise move and become one of the youngest ever to sign with Slaughterhouse gyms after James Shark witnessed the speed he had in training sessions.
These two deals would allow Jordan the opportunity to be taught by some of the very best in the world at both wrestling and MMA. Just as his career appeared primed to launch he suffered a catastrophic neck injury. The injury put the then 17 year old through Several surgeries and 18 months of rehab later and he made his return. First to wrestling, where he saw success within a few months. He started taking MMA fights with CGFC with middling results. Would even unintentionally cause drama within Slaughterhouse that would ultimately end with the split and formation of another famous gym.
His career trajectory exploded after joining an upstart MMA promotion, Union Grand Prix. Surprising everyone by winning the first ever Lightweight Grand Prix tournament as the Lightweight championship. Just 3 months after his 19th birthday he became the youngest champion in MMA history. The success catapulted Jordan’s wrestling career as well, resulting in multiple championships with various companies. Within a year Jordan had made hist again as the first 2 time UGP Lightweight champion as well as being one of a handful to ever hold an MMA and Wrestling championship simultaneously.
A combination of small Injuries, the pending birth of his first child, and burnout from nonstop training and competing pushed Jordan to step away with 1 fight left on a lucrative 5 fight deal. Now, After 4 years away Jordan returns to see if he can be what he once was.
