Jake Lindsey (born June 21, 1986) is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the Lightweight division. A professional since 2010, he has fought in the UFC, Bellator, the Legacy Fighting Alliance, and Titan FC.

Background

Lindsey was born and raised in Manhattan, Kansas. He attended Kansas State University before beginning training in mixed martial arts in early 2007.

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Lindsey competed as an amateur with an undefeated 7–0 record[2] before making his professional debut in 2010 competing for various regional promotions across the Midwest. He was able to compile a record of 9–0, before signing with the UFC in early 2014.[3]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Lindsey made his promotional debut as a short notice replacement for an injured Yosdenis Cedeno and faced Jon Tuck on June 7, 2014, at UFC Fight Night 42.[4] After a competitive first two rounds, Lindsey was defeated by submission in the third round as he tapped to a series of heel strikes to the ribs.[5]

Lindsey faced Olivier Aubin-Mercier on October 4, 2014, at UFC Fight Night 54.[6] After a fairly even first round, Aubin-Mercier won the bout via submission in the second round, as he was able to lock an inverted triangle on Lindsey and get the tap while applying a kimura.[7]

Lindsey faced promotional newcomer Joseph Duffy on March 14, 2015, at UFC 185. He lost the fight via TKO in the first round and was subsequently released from the promotion.[8]

Bare-knuckle boxing

Lindsey was expected to make his bare-knuckle boxing debut at BKFC 11 on July 24, 2020, against Kenny Licea.[9] However, the bout was scrapped as the event was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[10]

He ultimately made his debut against Eric Thompson at BKFC Fight Night: Wichita on October 23, 2021. He won the fight via third-round technical knockout.[11]
