Reported prose from our newsroom. All-rounder
Cody Gibson carries a 3-7 UFC record into the card. His time in the promotion dates back to his debut Feb. 22, 2014, and he has fought at bantamweight throughout.
Gibson's recent form has been mixed. He lost a unanimous decision to Miles Johns on March 23, 2024, then won back-to-back bouts: a first-round submission of Brian Kelleher on July 20, 2024, and a unanimous decision over Chad Anheliger on Nov. 2, 2024.
He has dropped his last two. Da'Mon Blackshear submitted him in the second round March 15, 2025, and Aoriqileng stopped him by first-round knockout Oct. 18, 2025. Gibson has won three of his 10 UFC fights.
The facts, plainly — vitals and record from public UFC statistics; nickname, nationality, hometown and camp from the public fighter register. A field we can't source stays “pending”; it never shows a fake value.

Where the strikes go — and where they land on him. Career UFC totals, straight off the tape.
Significant strikes only, as recorded by UFCStats, across the fighter's whole UFC career. Shares are raw counts — nothing here is modelled or smoothed. Accuracy is landed ÷ attempted and comes from the per-round tape, which covers slightly fewer fights than the totals do. “Field” is the average fighter in that weight class, or across every division where a class is too small to average.
The level change — how often it lands, how often it is stopped. Career UFC rates, straight off the tape.
Rate bars run to the population’s 95th percentile (5.45 takedowns / 15m); a fighter above it pins the bar. Percentages are drawn on their own axis.
Career UFC takedown rates exactly as UFCStats publishes them: takedowns landed per 15 minutes, completion rate, submission attempts per 15 minutes, and the share of takedowns tried on them that they stuffed. Attempts per 15 is the one derived figure — landed ÷ completion rate — and it is omitted wherever either input is missing. UFCStats writes 0% where no attempt was recorded at all, so a percentage of exactly zero reads “n/a” here rather than as a measured rate. “Field” is the average fighter in that weight class, or across every division where a class is too small to average.
Pro record: 22-13. In the UFC: 3-8. Cody Gibson’s last 8 UFC bouts, most recent first — the result in the cage, not our pick.
Straight off the official UFC fight record. Card names are left off on purpose: the only event labels in our data are derived, and we’d rather print nothing than print one that’s wrong.
