“PFL is saddened to learn about the passing of Jordan Young. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family during this tragic time. May he Rest In Peace.”

Jordan Young Was A Promising Prospect

Young boasted a 12-2 MMA record.

He started off his career with a 10-0 record which included six straight wins in Bellator. He would then suffer his first career defeat to Julius Anglickas in a unanimous decision at Bellator 233 back in November 2019.

Young would then join the PFL where he was again outpointed, this time by former UFC fighter Tom Lawlor in June this year. However, he would bounce back with a TKO win over another UFC alum in Omari Akhmedov at the PFL Championships in October.
