It’s time to take a moment to acknowledge Jonathan Pearce’s 2022 before the page is turned and the new schedule of fights for 2023 gets underway.
The UFC featherweight didn’t win a championship belt, didn’t headline a UFC event, didn’t finish 2022 in the UFC’s official rankings – heck, he didn’t even break 10,000 followers on Instagram. But that doesn’t take away the fact Pearce (14-4 MMA, 5-1 UFC) had a successful year, but more importantly, one that looks to be the beginning of something much bigger.
Pearce put together three consecutive wins in 2022 to improve his current streak to five in a row. Through that process, Pearce quietly grew from a 2-1 UFC rookie into a legit prospect at 145 pounds.
