Jordan Taylor Mein (born October 10, 1989) is a Canadian professional mixed martial artist who currently competes in the Welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. A professional competitor since 2006, Mein has also formerly competed for Strikeforce and King of the Cage.
Mein's father, Lee Mein, began operating a local promotion called Rumble in the Cage. It gave Mein, who had been training since the age of four, his first fighting opportunity and when he was just 11 years old he fought another local boy in a kickboxing match. That fight helped start Mein's fighting career that has included kickboxing tournaments, Brazilian jiu-jitsu competitions, at both the amateur and professional level.
Jordan's first amateur fight came when he was 14, and he compiled a 6-0-1 record before turning professional. He turned professional at the age of 16 in June 2006 at one of his father's Rumble in the Cage shows.
Jordan defeated Joe Riggs via second round KO at Wreck MMA: Strong and Proud on January 28, 2011.
He fought UFC veteran Josh Burkman at MMA 1: The Reckoning on April 2, 2011. He won via unanimous decision.
Mein signed a four-fight deal with Strikeforce in July 2011 and made his promotional debut at Strikeforce World Grand Prix: Barnett vs. Kharitonov, defeating Evangelista Santos via TKO in the third round.
Mein fought Tyron Woodley at Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine. He lost a split decision (28-29, 29-28, 30-27).
