Cosce was born on October 15, 1991, in San Diego, California. He started training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at the age of 6, under his father’s tutelage and soon developed a passion for combat sports.

He made his amateur debut when he was 16 years old, accumulating an impressive record of 13-2 with 11 wins by submission or knockout before transitioning into professional MMA competition.

Cosce then went on to compete for various promotions throughout California making it all the way up to Combate Americas where he eventually earned himself three back-to-back victories that gave him enough momentum to earn him a chance at joining UFC’s roster of fighters this past year when they released their Light Heavyweight division which Orion quickly joined at 31 years old immediately bringing attention from many people around the world due to being one of only eight athletes selected out hundreds who tried out during tryouts held across several states including Arizona & Texas
