Ultimate Fighting Championship
Gagnon was expected to make his UFC debut in Chicago, Illinois at UFC on Fox 2 against The Ultimate Fighter 14 alumnus Johnny Bedford.[5] On January 25, 2012, the UFC announced the bout was cancelled due to Gagnon's visa issues.[6]
Gagnon faced Bryan Caraway on July 21, 2012, at UFC 149.[7] He lost the fight via submission in the third round. Despite the loss, Gagnon was given a Fight of the Night bonus award for his performance.[8]

Gagnon was expected to face Alex Caceres on December 7, 2013, at UFC Fight Night 33.[15] However, the bout was scrapped during the week leading up to the event due to an alleged visa issue for Gagnon, restricting his entry to Australia.[16]

Gagnon was expected to face Aljamain Sterling on October 4, 2014, at UFC Fight Night: MacDonald vs. Saffiedine.[19] However, Sterling pulled out of the bout and was replaced by Rob Font.[20] Subsequently, Font pulled out of the fight the week of the event and was replaced by Roman Salazar.[21] Gagnon won via submission in the first round.[22]
