Lance Gibson Jr.

Overview

One UFC loss that went to the scorecards, then a first-round knockout of a strong opponent. Lance Gibson Jr., a Seattle lightweight who goes by "Fearless" and fights out of Gibson MMA, is 1-1 in the UFC and carries a one-fight win streak into his next bout.

His only UFC finish so far ended in under three minutes.

UFC Career

Gibson debuted at UFC Fight Night: Royval vs Kape, where King Green beat him by split decision after three full rounds. It was close enough to split the judges.

He answered at UFC Fight Night: Adesanya vs Pyfer in March 2026, stopping Chase Hooper, a strong opponent by our model's tiers, by KO/TKO at 2:56 of the first round.

Two fights is a small sample, but the contrast is clear: a decision loss, then a quick finish.

Fighting Style

Gibson fights from a switch stance. His numbers describe a defensive fighter, not a volume one. He lands fewer strikes per minute than most in the UFC, but he is hard to hit and very hard to take down. He also rarely hunts submissions.
