Those in the know have learned to depend on
Ricky Glenn
to bring the violence.
The unassuming Marshalltown, Iowa, native will pen the next pages
in his story whenever he makes his first appearance of 2022—a
scheduled March 12 booking opposite
Drew Dober
fell through when Glenn suffered a torn groin in training—inside
the
Ultimate Fighting Championship’s lightweight division. Glenn,
33, has pieced together a 4-3-1 record since he joined the UFC
roster five-plus years ago. He last appeared at UFC Fight Night
196, where he fought to a majority draw with
Grant
Dawson on Oct. 23.
As Glenn continues his recovery, here are five things you might not
know about him:
1. He fought long before he developed his man strength.
Glenn made his professional mixed martial arts debut at the age of
17 when he struck
Bob Morgan
into submission 2:25 into the second round of their War Party Cage
Fighting 3 pairing on July 29, 2006. He compiled a perfect 2-0
record as a teenager.
2. Consistency has given him staying power.
The Duke Roufus disciple has not yet suffered back-to-back defeats
as a pro. Glenn has followed each of his six setbacks with at least
one win. In fact, he once went more than four years between
losses.
