Justin Wetzell

29 | 5’9″ | Denver, Colorado, US | 7-1 | 3 Finishes | 3 KO/TKO’s | Combined Opponents’ Record: 24-9 | Best Win – Askar Askar (11-1)

Wetzell has been very slept on over the past few years. He tried out for The Ultimate Fighter season 29 but didn’t make it. Was rumored to fight on the Contender Series last season but it never happened. He’s 3-0 inside the LFA cage. Wetzell started off beating two undefeated prospects but it was his last fight when he proved himself. He took out Askar Askar who was signed briefly to the UFC and was close to another shot.

Wetzell is well-rounded having the ability to fight anywhere the fight takes him. He can strike, having good hands, and his shot placement is on point. He’s really good at beating guys to the punch. Wetzell can also wrestle and has an all-around tight ground game. Along with good ground and pound, his jiu-jitsu is solid on top or off his back.
