Jordan Wright (born October 7, 1991) is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the Middleweight division. He formerly fought in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Wright started gymnastics at age four, but after watching the anime Dragon Ball Z, he developed an interest in martial arts. Trying karate as his first martial art, he would then try his hand in wushu, Muay Thai and kickboxing. After participating in some Muay Thai smokers at the age of 16, he was instantly hooked. After high school, Wright decided to make fighting a full-time job and moved to New Mexico and tried out for Jackson-Wink MMA. After passing the tryout, Wright would sleep and live at the gym during the summer before his freshman year at the University of New Mexico.

Wright has trained and competed in catch wrestling. He was the runner-up in the -214 lb. division at the ACWA US Open national championships in December 2023.

Soon after graduating from college, Wright made his professional MMA debut at 23 years old under the banner of Xplode Fight Series. He was victorious, submitting John Lee with a rear-naked choke in just 63 seconds. Wright would go on to win his next seven bouts, none lasting longer than 2:48. At LFA 30 on January 12, 2018, Wright submitted Craig Wilkerson in 1 minute and 29 seconds.

Fighting under the banner of Dana White's Contender Series 10, he faced Anthony Hernandez. Despite losing the fight in 40 seconds, the fight would be declared a no contest, as Hernandez tested positive for marijuana.

Wright faced Gabriel Checco at LFA 80 on January 17, 2020. He won the bout via TKO in the second round.

Wright made his UFC debut on short notice, as a replacement for Jorge Gonzalez, against Ike Villanueva on August 22, 2020, at UFC on ESPN: Munhoz vs. Edgar. Wright won after cutting Isaac badly with a knee, leading to a doctor's stoppage.

Wright faced Joaquin Buckley at UFC 255 on November 21, 2020. He lost the fight via knockout in round two.

Wright faced Jamie Pickett on May 15, 2021, at UFC 262. He won the bout via TKO in the first round.

Wright was scheduled to face Julian Marquez on October 16, 2021, at UFC Fight Night 195. At the weigh-ins, it was announced that Marquez was pulled from the bout due to non-COVID related health issues and the fight was canceled.

Wright faced Bruno Silva on December 11, 2021, at UFC 269. He lost the fight via TKO in the first round.

Wright was scheduled to face Roman Kopylov on April 23, 2022, at UFC Fight Night 205. However Kopylov withdrew for medical reasons and he was replaced by Marc-André Barriault. Wright lost the fight via a guillotine choke in round one.

Wright faced Duško Todorović on October 15, 2022, at UFC Fight Night 212. He lost the fight via technical knockout in round two. This fight earned him the Fight of the Night award.

Wright faced Zac Pauga on February 18, 2023, at UFC Fight Night 219. He lost the fight via unanimous decision.

After the loss, it was announced that Wright was no longer on the UFC roster.

In his first fight outside the UFC, Wright faced Dana White's Contender Series veteran Zack Borrego in the main event of Fury FC 88 on March 24, 2024. He won the fight via unanimous decision.
