Jared 'The Killa Gorilla' Cannonier is a 42-year-old American middleweight who started his UFC career at heavyweight and has knocked out names in three divisions — Anderson Silva, Jack Hermansson and Derek Brunson among them. He has dropped his last two fights, a unanimous decision to Christian Leroy Duncan in July 2026 and another to Michael Page the previous August, though his power remains a factor at any stage of a fight. He now meets surging contender Ikram Aliskerov in Doha.
