Jordan Espinosa is a professional mixed martial artist from the United States. He competes in the Flyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

After graduating high school, Espinosa had an opportunity to wrestle collegiately but chose to pursue MMA instead due to his passion for it.

At 20 years old, Espinosa made his professional debut at Maximum Fighting Championships 42 (MFC 42) against Tom Gallicchio who he would later fight again three times more throughout his career. This bout ended with a unanimous decision victory for him, launching him into his successful fighting career which now includes two promotions: Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) and UFC Fight Night as well as 11 wins and four losses professionally as of 2020.

After five years competing around North America within various regional organizations such as MFC, LFA and Combate Americas all while earning seven wins, In 2018 Jordan signed with UFC Fight Night after winning his LFA 52 headliner via submission against Matthew Lozano who was previously undefeated before this fight occurred. His first UFC bout took place at UFN 148 versus Mark de La Rosa which culminated in yet another win over 3 rounds by unanimous decision- solidifying Espinosa’s status as an up-and-coming star within the sport of MMA before going on to have four more fights under that promotion so far without any losses or draws recorded thus far alongside victories over Eric Shelton & Matt Schnell amongst others during that timeframe .
