Donte Johnson

Donte 'Lock Jaw' Johnson is an undefeated middleweight prospect out of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, who punched his ticket to the UFC with a 64-second knockout on Dana White's Contender Series in August 2025. Six of his eight pro wins have come by knockout, and he backed up the hype in his UFC debut by choking out Sedriques Dumas in the second round. He is short for the division at 5'8", but he compensates with explosive southpaw power and surprising physicality in the clinch. His most recent outing, a gritty split decision over Cody Brundage, showed he can grind out rounds when the finish is not there.
