Dustin Jacoby

Dustin 'The Hanyak' Jacoby took an unusual path back to the UFC. After an early, unsuccessful stint, he rebuilt himself as a high-level kickboxer - including a run in Glory - and returned to MMA a far more dangerous striker. That second act produced a strong unbeaten run at light heavyweight and established him as one of the division's most reliable action fighters.

His game is built on length, volume and technical kickboxing: he keeps fights standing and beats opponents up on the feet. He's hovered around the rankings against tough competition like Alonzo Menifield, always in entertaining fights. Fans appreciate the pedigree and the simple fact that Jacoby comes to strike.
