Background

Born in Utah and raised in Alaska and Idaho, Jorgensen began wrestling at the age of five, going on to become a two-time state champion as well as a two-time state runner-up at Eagle High School.[6][7] Jorgensen continued wrestling on a scholarship to Boise State University where he was a three-time Pac-10 Champion.[8] Jorgensen has been diagnosed with vitiligo.[8] According to Jorgensen from an interview with MMARecap.com, "Its just a pigmentation disorder that basically my immune system fights off pigment cells and loses its color." In another interview, he talks about when he first noticed it happening. "It started in ninth grade. I noticed a small spot on my wrist and I didn't think much of it. My mom offered to take me to a doctor but I didn't want to go. It kind of bothered me because I didn't know how to explain it to people ... and some people were ignorant. So I just involved myself with what I do best, which is wrestling, and I've always had lots of friends. It got to the point where I decided you'll either accept me or you won't and if it's because of my skin then you've got bigger issues than I do. I just don't care, it doesn't bother me. It's something that makes me who I am. It is me and it's never hindered me in any way. It's funny to see people talk about it."[9]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Jorgensen began his mixed martial arts career fighting in several respected regional promotions, including, X-Fighting Championships, Alaska Fighting Championships, Ring of Fire, and ShoXC.

World Extreme Cagefighting

Jorgensen made his WEC debut against Damacio Page at WEC 32, falling via unanimous decision, in a fight that has been reported as having Jorgensen suffering health problems from his vitiligo at the time of the fight. Jorgensen then went on to earn victories in his next two bouts against established veterans Kenji Osawa at WEC 35 and Frank Gomez at WEC 38.

Jorgensen dropped an extremely close split decision to Antonio Banuelos at WEC 41 in a bout that was described by Reed Harris as one of the best fights in all of 2009.[10]

Jorgensen was scheduled to fight Rafael Rebello on September 2, 2009, at WEC 43. However, Rebello was forced to withdraw due to injury and was replaced by Noah Thomas.[11] Jorgensen defeated Thomas via TKO in the first round.

Jorgensen defeated Takeya Mizugaki on December 19, 2009, at WEC 45, via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28).[12] The bout also earned Fight of the Night honors.[13]

Jorgensen's his next opponent was Chad George on March 6, 2010, at WEC 47.[14] He won via submission due to a standing guillotine choke 31 seconds into the first round.

Jorgensen faced Antonio Banuelos in a long-awaited rematch on April 24, 2010, at WEC 48, replacing an injured Damacio Page.[15] Jorgensen won the rematch by unanimous decision.

Jorgensen defeated Brad Pickett via unanimous decision on August 18, 2010, at WEC 50.[16]

Jorgensen finally got his title shot and faced Dominick Cruz on December 16, 2010, at the promotion's final event, WEC 53.[17] The winner of the bout would become both the final WEC Bantamweight Champion and the first ever UFC Bantamweight Champion, marking the first time a UFC title would be awarded outside the UFC.[18] Jorgensen lost the fight via unanimous decision.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

In October 2010, World Extreme Cagefighting merged with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As part of the merger, all WEC fighters were transferred to the UFC.[19]

Jorgensen faced Ken Stone on June 4, 2011, at The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale.[20] Jorgensen won the fight via KO after knocking Stone out cold with punches from inside Stone's closed guard during the first round.[21]

Jorgensen next faced Jeff Curran on October 29, 2011, at UFC 137.[22] He won the fight via unanimous decision.[23]

Jorgensen then fought Renan Barão on February 4, 2012, at UFC 143.[24] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[25]

Jorgensen next faced Eddie Wineland on June 8, 2012, at UFC on FX 3.[26] Wineland defeated Jorgenson via second-round knockout, notable for the fact it marked the first time that the durable Jorgensen had been stopped via strikes.[27] Their back and forth action earned both participants Fight of the Night honors.[28]

Jorgensen then faced John Albert on December 8, 2012, at UFC on Fox 5.[29] Jorgensen won the fight via submission in the first round earning Submission of the Night and Fight of the Night honors for his performance.[30][31]

Jorgensen faced Urijah Faber on April 13, 2013, in the main event at The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale.[32] After a fast-paced and technical fight, Faber submitted Jorgensen via rear naked choke at 3:16 in the 4th round.[33]

Move to Flyweight

It was announced on September 17 that Jorgensen would be moving down to Flyweight. He was expected to face Ian McCall on December 14, 2013, at UFC on Fox 9.[34] However, McCall was forced out of the bout with an injury and replaced by John Dodson.[35] Then on December 3, Dodson himself was forced from the bout after sustaining a knee injury.[36] Jorgensen instead faced promotional newcomer Zach Makovsky.[37] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[38]

Jorgensen faced Jussier Formiga on March 23, 2014, at UFC Fight Night 38.[39] Jorgensen lost the fight via submission in the first round. Formiga unintentionally butted Jorgensen's chin with the top of his skull, which went unnoticed by the referee and submitted the dazed Jorgensen via rear naked choke.[40] Jorgensen appealed the headbutt to the Brazilian Athletic Commission, however the result was upheld.[41]

Jorgensen faced Danny Martinez on June 7, 2014, at UFC Fight Night 42.[42] He won the fight via unanimous decision.[43] The win also earned Jorgensen his third Fight of the Night bonus award.[44]

Jorgensen was expected to face promotional newcomer Henry Cejudo on August 30, 2014, at UFC 177.[45] However, due to medical issues related to cutting weight, Cejudo was forced out the bout prior to the weigh-ins and Jorgensen was subsequently pulled from the event.[46][47]

Jorgensen faced Wilson Reis on October 25, 2014, at UFC 179.[48] Prior to the bout, Jorgensen missed weight and was fined 20% of his purse.[49] He lost the fight via submission in the first round.[50]

Jorgensen faced Manvel Gamburyan in a bantamweight bout on July 15, 2015, at UFC Fight Night 71.[51] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[52]

Jorgensen faced Alejandro Pérez on November 21, 2015, at The Ultimate Fighter Latin America 2 Finale.[53] He lost the fight via TKO due to an ankle injury in the second round.[54]

On February 9, 2016, Jorgensen was released from the UFC.[55]
