Tommy Gantt secured his second UFC victory with a third-round submission at Noche UFC. The finish adds another highlight to Gantt's growing record inside the octagon.
Tommy Gantt kept his perfect record intact at Noche UFC on September 12, 2026, submitting his opponent in the third round to earn his second victory inside the octagon.
Gantt, now 12-0-0, continues to look like one of the more complete unbeaten prospects in his division. The 33-year-old orthodox fighter stands five-foot-eleven with a 76-inch reach and has built his game around a relentless grappling attack. His takedown rate of 11.29 per 15 minutes is a standout number, and he supplements that pressure with 1.4 submission attempts per 15 minutes — a combination that eventually wore his opponent down on Saturday night. What makes Gantt particularly dangerous is that his striking holds up as well: he lands 2.92 significant strikes per minute at a remarkable 75 percent accuracy, meaning opponents cannot simply camp on the fence and wait for his takedown attempts.
Why it matters
- Gantt remains undefeated at 12-0-0, and back-to-back UFC finishes will demand the promotion takes notice of his divisional trajectory.
- A third-round submission demonstrates both his cardio and his ability to grind opponents down across full championship-distance distances.
- His elite takedown volume combined with above-average striking accuracy presents a genuine stylistic problem for almost anyone in his weight class.
The finish at Noche UFC is the kind of performance that pushes a fighter from promising prospect to legitimate contender conversation, and Gantt's numbers suggest the finishing ability is no fluke.
