Jared Gordon

"Flash". That's what they call Jared Gordon, and is part of the UFC lightweight division's deep end, fighting out of the United States — 30 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.

Volume is the weapon: 5.64 significant strikes a minute on 65% accuracy. Rounds get won on attrition — opponents drown in output long before the final bell.

He's coming off a loss to Jim Miller. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.

At 37, the window is what it is — which tends to make every remaining fight more honest, and more dangerous.
