CAREER NOTES

Jordan "Not Human" Newman is an undefeated Middleweight and one of the most decorated wrestling-based prospects competing today. A native of Blaine, Minnesota, Newman brings a Division III national championship pedigree and a finishing ability that has followed him from the college mat to the professional cage. 

Newman's wrestling career at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater established him as one of the elite competitors in the country at the NCAA Division III level. He earned All-American honors in 2015, then captured back-to-back national championships at 184 pounds in 2017 and 2018, finishing his collegiate career as a three-time All-American and the 2018 WIAC Wrestler of the Year. That foundation carried directly into his professional career, which he has built under Duke Roufus at Roufusport MMA Academy in Milwaukee. 

Newman's path through Bellator confirmed that his finishing instincts translate at the professional level. He submitted Jayden Taulker with a rear-naked choke, stopped Matthew Perry in the first round with an Americana at Bellator 297, and earned a unanimous decision over Imamshafi Aliev at the Bellator Champions Series. He arrived in PFL and wasted no time. In his PFL debut in August 2025, Newman finished the fight by TKO inside the first round.

Jordan Newman has always been defined by one consistent trait: the fight ends when he decides it does. His wrestling gives him the control to dictate position, and his finishing instincts across submissions and strikes mean opponents cannot simply survive by surviving the takedown.
