Dustin Jacoby Bio

Dustin Jacoby is an American mixed martial artist known as “The Hanyak.” As of September 19, 2026, the UFC lists him as an active light heavyweight who trains at Factory X. Born April 4, 1988, in Fort Morgan, Colorado, Jacoby is listed at 6 feet 3 inches with a 76-inch reach. He made his UFC debut in October 2011, later rebuilt his career outside the promotion, and returned to the Octagon in October 2020.

Jacoby’s background extends beyond MMA: he competed in GLORY kickboxing, where he won a Road to GLORY tournament on short notice and later developed into a more experienced pure striker. That kickboxing experience remains central to his MMA identity, with his work generally built around orthodox, aggressive stand-up offense rather than a wrestling-first approach. His most recent verified UFC appearance was July 25, 2026, when Muhammad Saidov stopped him in the second round at UFC Abu Dhabi.
