Third straight stoppage loss
FlyweightUFC
January 20, 2024
Gordon lost to Jimmy Flick via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 1:17 of Round 2 at UFC 297 in Toronto.
ANALYSIS
It's been a rough 36-hour stretch for Gordon that could put his roster status in jeopardy. He missed weight by 1.5 pounds Friday morning and then suffered his third straight stoppage loss despite entering as upwards of a -200 favorite. He dominated Round 1 with plenty of volume on the feet, but he proceeded to give up a shockingly easy takedown early in the second frame and found himself tapping out moments later. Gordon falls to 2-5 in his seven bouts with the UFC.

Fight on after missing weight

January 19, 2024
Gordon will be penalized 20 percent of his purse for his fight against Jimmy Flick at UFC 297 on Saturday after missing the flyweight limit, MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gordon was one of the final fighters to take the scale but came in at 127.5 pounds for Saturday's matchup. He also missed weight for his previous fight in March and has lost his past two bouts, which could put him on precarious ground with the promotion. Flick isn't in a great spot himself, as he's also coming off consecutive losses.

Gordon will fight Jimmy Flick at UFC 297 on Jan. 20, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Coming off back-to-back losses to Muhammad Mokaev and Jake Hadley, Gordon will be desperate to get back into the win column against Flick, who has also dropped consecutive fights. Gordon holds a 2-4 record in the UFC, so taking another loss could put his future with the promotion in jeopardy.
Lasts 61 seconds after weight miss
FlyweightUFC
March 18, 2023
Gordon lost to Jake Hadley via TKO (punches) at 1:01 of Round 1 at UFC 286 on Saturday in London.
ANALYSIS
Missing weight by 3.5 pounds on Friday morning and then lasting all of 61 seconds is a good way to lose your job. Gordon was forced to forfeit 30 percent of his purse to Hadley in order for his fight to proceed, only to eat a massive body shot a minute into the bout which ended his evening. Gordon has been very streaky throughout his brief UFC run, losing his first two bouts, winning the next two and losing his last two. He probably needs a victory his next time out in order to save his roster spot.

Gordon missed weight and will forfeit 30 percent of his purse for Saturday's matchup against Jake Hadley at UFC 286, Alexander K. Lee of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gordon came in 3.5 pounds over the flyweight limit, but the fight will remain on the card as a catchweight. Gordon's loss to Muhammad Mokaev in October ended a two-fight win streak, while Hadley picked up his first UFC victory during November in his second bout with the promotion.

Gordon will face Jake Hadley in a flyweight bout at UFC 286 on March 18 in London, Aaron Bronsteter of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Gordon fought well as a major underdog in his loss to Muhammad Mokaev in October, and he'll re-enter the Octagon in March. Hadley recorded his first UFC victory in November against Carlos Candelario and is now 1-1 in the promotion.
