Ryan James Jensen (born September 20, 1977) is an American mixed martial artist.

Mixed martial arts career

Background

Jensen began training at the age of 15. Following his first fight against Travis Fulton in February 1997, he did not compete again until June 2002. Jensen quit his day job in November 2006, and has been training and fighting full-time since then.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

His UFC debut was on August 25, 2007 at UFC 74; his initial opponent was supposed be Travis Lutter, however Lutter was forced to withdraw due to injury. Instead, Jensen faced late replacement Thales Leites and after a strong start, got caught by an armbar submission in the first round. He followed this up with another loss to Demian Maia before leaving the UFC.

On March 29, 2008, Jensen accepted a fight against Joey Villasenor on four days notice in the Strikeforce promotion. Again, after a strong start, Jensen lost by KO with 15 seconds remaining in the first round at Strikeforce: Shamrock vs. Le.

Since then, Jensen rebounded with a first round TKO over Mitch Whitesel at SportFight 23 in June 2008, as well as a first round submission victory over Aaron Praschack due to strikes in VFC 23.

Jensen then returned to the UFC and was defeated by Wilson Gouveia at UFC Fight Night: Diaz vs Neer via submission (armbar).

This was followed up by a win over Steve Steinbeiss at UFC Fight Night: Diaz vs. Guillard via technical submission.

Jensen faced Mark Muñoz at UFC 108 on January 2, 2010.[2] He lost the fight via submission (punches) at the 2:30 mark of the first round.[3] He faced Jesse Forbes at UFC 114 on May 29, 2010.He defeated Forbes by Guillotine choke submission in the first round.[4]

Jensen fought Court McGee at UFC 121.[5] He lost the fight via arm triangle choke in the third round.[6]

Despite having only won 2 out of 7 fights in the UFC, Jensen has avoided release and is now slated to face Canadian Jason MacDonald at UFC 129.[7]

Personal life

Jensen is married and has a daughter.[8] The couple is expecting their second child in October 2010.[9]
