Mixed martial arts career
Early career
Lindsey competed as an amateur for a couple of years, before making his professional debut in 2010 competing for various regional promotions across the Midwest. He was able to compile a record of 9-0, before signing with the UFC in early 2014.[2]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Lindsey made his promotional debut as a short notice replacement for an injured Yosdenis Cedeno and faced Jon Tuck on June 7, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 42.[3] After a competitive first two rounds, Lindsey was defeated by submission in the third round as he tapped to a series of heel strikes to the ribs.[4]
Lindsey faced Olivier Aubin-Mercier on October 4, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 54.[5] After a fairly even first round, Aubin-Mercier won the bout via submission in the second round, as he was able to lock an inverted triangle on Lindsey and get the tap while applying a kimura.[6]
Lindsey faced promotional newcomer Joseph Duffy on March 14, 2015 at UFC 185. He lost the fight via TKO in the first round and was subsequently released from the promotion.
