Jordan Wright Career Bio: Record
Jordan Wright began his MMA journey with Karate at age nine, but truly got a grasp of his body and its mechanics through his lifelong love, gymnastics. He credits his athleticism and amazing flexibility to the sport that he started at four but throughout his adolescence, Jordan slowly expanded his martial arts skills.
Wright began with Jeet Kune Do or “The Way of the Intercepting Fist”, a martial art philosophy developed by Bruce Lee. He kept learning traditional methods like Chinese Kung Fu and Muay Thai Boxing and noticed his gymnastics background instantly paid dividends for his footwork, coordination, and newfound kicking game.
Now 29 years old, Jordan Wright trains out of Dynamix MMA, a relatively small outfit in West L.A. with Wright being one of two pro fighters. “The Beverly Hills Ninja” has been nothing but victorious across the west coast, even venturing up to Alaska to notch a few wins in 2017. He earned a Contender Series shot in 2018 on the first season of the show. Jordan took his first-ever L via a 40-second KO; however, it was later ruled a no-contest after his opponent failed a drug test.
After the loss, Jordan Wright made adjustments in his personal life and came back looking stronger and smarter. He accepted a short-notice fight in August 2020, making good on the chance with a first-round TKO after he opened a nasty cut on his opponent with a knee in the clinch. Wright welcomes Joaquin Buckley (11-3) back to the octagon after “New Mansa” earned the KO of the Year on Fight Island last month.
