Mixed martial arts career

edit

Early career

edit

Lindsey competed as an amateur with an undefeated 7–0 record[2] before making his professional debut in 2010 competing for various regional promotions across the Midwest. He was able to compile a record of 9–0, before signing with the UFC in early 2014.[3]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

edit

Lindsey made his promotional debut as a short notice replacement for an injured Yosdenis Cedeno and faced Jon Tuck on June 7, 2014, at UFC Fight Night 42.[4] After a competitive first two rounds, Lindsey was defeated by submission in the third round as he tapped to a series of heel strikes to the ribs.[5]

Lindsey faced Olivier Aubin-Mercier on October 4, 2014, at UFC Fight Night 54.[6] After a fairly even first round, Aubin-Mercier won the bout via submission in the second round, as he was able to lock an inverted triangle on Lindsey and get the tap while applying a kimura.[7]

Lindsey faced promotional newcomer Joseph Duffy on March 14, 2015, at UFC 185. He lost the fight via TKO in the first round and was subsequently released from the promotion.[8]

Bare-knuckle boxing

edit

Lindsey was expected to make his bare-knuckle boxing debut at BKFC 11 on July 24, 2020, against Kenny Licea.[9] However, the bout was scrapped as the event was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[10]

He ultimately made his debut against Eric Thompson at BKFC Fight Night: Wichita on October 23, 2021. He won the fight via third-round technical knockout.[11]
