Nobody hands you anything at lightweight. Gauge Young — "Gee Money" to fight fans — has built a 11-3 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving the United States's regional scene.
Volume is the weapon: 6.32 significant strikes a minute on 54% accuracy. Rounds get won on attrition — opponents drown in output long before the final bell.
Most recent outing: a win over Thiago Moisés via decision - split. Business handled.
Next up: Kody Steele at UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues on August 23, 2026. Circle the date.
