Malcolm Gordon (born May 19, 1990) is a Canadian former mixed martial artist who competed in the Flyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
At 19, he started spending time training in Las Vegas under the late Shawn Tompkins, a Canadian coach who had also worked with Sam Stout, Mark Hominick and Chris Horodecki.
Gordon would bounce back at the end of 2015 with a unanimous decision victory at WXC 59 over Shawn Mack .
Winning his next two bouts via first round stoppages, Gordon made his professional debut for TKO MMA against Dimitri Waardenburg in November 2016.
Gordon defended his crown via round two armbar and in his last bout on the regionals before signing with the UFC, Gordon faced The Ultimate Fighter: Tournament of Champions fighter Yoni Sherbatov at TKO 47, where he defeated him by the way of rear-naked choke.
[6] Amir and Gordon both had only two weeks' notice as they replaced Tagir Ulanbekov and Aleksander Doskalchuk, who pulled out of the event following the death of Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov.
As a result, the bout took place at catchweight and Gordon was fined 20% of his purse, which went to his opponent Flick.
