Jesse Lennox is an American mixed martial artist. He was formerly signed to the Ultimate Fighting Championship fighting in their welterweight division before being cut with a 1-2 record with the promotion.

Mixed martial arts career

Jesse made his debut in 2005 defeating Travis "6pack" Corey.

International Fight League

Jesse made his debut for the International Fight League losing to Emyr Bussade via kneebar. Jesse was sidelined six months after the loss because of an injury that occurred during the fight.

World Extreme Cagefighting

Jesse was signed to World Extreme Cagefighting in early 2009 and made his debut not much later defeating Blas Avena. The WEC then disbanded their welterweight division leaving Jesse without a job.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Jesse made his debut for the Ultimate Fighting Championship at UFC 101 against Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Danillo Villefort. He won by TKO from a cut, although controversial as it was from an accidental headbutt.

Lennox was defeated by Rick Story via decision at UFC Fight Night 20.^[1]

Lennox then suffered his second successive loss in the UFC, at UFC 115 to Mike Pyle. After being largely controlled on the ground, Lennox was put in a triangle choke and passed out, giving Pyle the win via technical submission. After the consecutive losses Lennox was released from the UFC.
