Jess Liaudin (born 21 December 1973) is a French mixed martial artist, kickboxer and film actor.
He has fought in over 84 amateur and professional fights in mixed martial arts, Muay Thai, and kickboxing.
Liaudin began his professional MMA career in 2000 as a Middleweight, compiling a 6–0 record before facing his first defeat.
In arguably the most significant win of his career, Liaudin defeated Siver via first-round armbar just 1:21 into the fight.
However, the bout was scrapped due to a hand injury Johnson suffered during training, and Liaudin instead returned at UFC 85 against Marcus Davis.
