Kibadi Gordon Scores Lightning Knockout in Under a Minute at GFN Event
Kibadi Gordon, the eldest of the Gordon brothers, secured a stunning knockout victory in less than a minute during his fight at the GFN event on Monday. Facing former UFC fighter Jose Alberto Quinones, Gordon showcased a Muay Thai fighting style, differing from his usual MMA approach, and quickly subdued his opponent. Although the bout was not an MMA fight, the swift and impressive win against a former UFC competitor is likely to attract global attention.
Gordon's primary focus remains MMA, where he holds a record of eight wins and two losses. He has previously competed in the LFA organization and achieved his first victory in the FFC in August 2024. His ultimate goal is to join the UFC, and to maximize his chances, he aims to fight in promotions affiliated with Fight Pass, which draw significant attention from UFC executives.
After the fight, Gordon directly addressed UFC president Dana White and matchmaker Sean Shelby, urging them to notice his performance and offer him a chance in the major league. He stated, "Dana White, Sean Shelby, look at me. See what we did here, bring me to the big league and see what I can do. I landed one punch and amazed myself." The next fight for Gordon has not yet been announced.
