Meet Jordan Leavitt “The Monkey King” is a college student by day and a professional MMA fighter by night.

Jordan Leavitt Career, UFC

Jordan’s love for MMA began when he was in high school. He secured the third position at State for wrestling in high school (160-pound division), He won the Tuff-n-Uff featherweight title belt, and recently received his purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Jordan worked as a busboy before he started fighting. Jordan Leavitt saw The Ultimate Fighter on TV and was instantly hooked.

You’ll never see another fighter like me. I’m an innovator and I’m able to pull things off that other fighters can’t. Fighting is art… I’m a Picasso. I’m a tad bit “abstract”.

Jordan is called ‘The Monkey King’ and he didn’t have to do a lot of madness in the Octagon. He took on MMA veteran Matt Wiman and needed just 27 seconds to get the win.

Leavitt caught hold of his opponent, carried him, and after that hammered him down after fair 27 seconds. Wiman was out cold and he wasn’t reacting in a frightening minute. The commentators from the UFC too accepted that the UFC veteran had a concussion and they brought up how slams are lawful within the UFC but hitting behind the head isn’t.

“I was raised by a single mom, and she started her own business. She’s worked hard her entire life to take care of us. Indeed in spite of the fact that she was fruitful, she was caught by it.

And indeed in spite of the fact that she had the riches and the steadiness, she didn’t have the flexibility to do what I think she would have enjoyed doing with her life and have fun and finish the objectives that she needed to do. And even though she had a fulfilling family life and she raised three good kids and she’s a grandma now, I saw how hard it was for my mom to make those sacrifices.
