Gilbert Urbina is a Texan from the Rio Grande Valley who first got noticed as a semifinalist on The Ultimate Fighter 29. His UFC run has been feast or famine: a highlight body-kick stoppage of Orion Cosce sandwiched by three first-round defeats, including a 63-second knockout loss to Uroš Medić last August. He hits hard, starts fast, and had Medić badly hurt in the opening seconds of that fight before it slipped away. Now training at BMF Ranch and moving up to middleweight, he is fighting to save his roster spot.
