A new featherweight contest is confirmed for UFC Fight Night San Diego as Jared Gordon will take on Matt Sayles.
Gordon is hoping to bounce back following his loss to Charles Oliveira at UFC Fight Night São Paulo. Since making his UFC debut in 2017, the featherweight hasn’t had the best of luck thus far, with Gordon losing three out of his six fights. The New York native’s last win was against Dan Moret at UFC Minneapolis in June 2019. Gordon’s professional record currently stands at 15 wins and 4 losses.
Sayles is also looking to gain steam following his submission loss to Bryce Mitchell at UFC Fight Night Washington D.C. Thus far, the featherweight’s record in the promotion has been more miss than hit, with the California native's only win coming against Kyle Nelson. Sayles’ professional record currently stands at 8 wins and 3 losses.
UFC Fight Night San Diego takes place on Saturday, May 16 from the Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California with Dustin Poirier and Dan Hooker headlining.
