RYAN GANDRA

Operating out of a highly respected training camp, Ryan Gandra has established himself as a formidable presence in the lightweight tier. The mixed martial artist is recognized for a well-rounded combat style that blends striking techniques with grappling prowess. Before making his transition to the UFC, Gandra built his reputation for relentless determination inside the cage by securing several prominent victories across various regional organizations.

Entering UFC 329 with an overall record of six victories and two defeats, Gandra has experienced a highly competitive stretch of fights. His recent run began with a knockout loss to Justin Gaethje, which he followed with consecutive wins over Tony Ferguson and Dustin Poirier. Although Charles Oliveira later stopped him with a rear-naked choke, Gandra successfully rebounded in his latest appearance by winning a unanimous decision against Michael Johnson.
