Jordan Watson (born 4 December 1987) is an English Muay Thai kickboxer who competes in the middleweight division. A powerful kicker, Watson began training in Muay Thai at six years old with Richard Smith at Bad Company, Leeds, UK and first came to prominence when he reached the final of the K-1 UK MAX Tournament 2007 Pain & Glory at nineteen. He won the ISKA World Super Welterweight Muay Thai Championship in 2010 and then found further recognition the following year by finishing as runner-up on The Challenger Muay Thai reality television show. He began fighting for Glory in 2012. He was the first ever yokkao -70 kg champion.
Jordan Watson started Muay Thai training at the age of six with Richard Smith at Bad Company Thai Boxing Gym where he is a training partner of Liam Harrison. He had over seventy fights and won eight titles during his amateur career and turned professional as a seventeen-year-old in 2004.
Having built up an undefeated record on the British Muay Thai scene, Watson made his first foray into Oriental kickboxing rules and his K-1 debut at the K-1 UK MAX Tournament 2007 Pain & Glory in London, England on 20 May 2007. After outpointing Killy Guelladrss in the quarter-finals and knocking out Harvey Harra in the semis, he suffered the first loss of his professional career at the hands of Sophiane Allouche in the tournament final. He was floored twice by the Algerian in round two, forcing the referee to stop the fight. In November 2008, he won the UK qualifying tournament for the second season of The Contender Asia in Watford, England, taking decision wins over Tim Thomas and Craig Jose before stopping Chris Shaw in the final. The show was cancelled due to financial difficulties, however.
