Ultimate Fighting Championship
[edit]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.[4] 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.[5]
Lindsey faced Olivier Aubin-Mercier on October 4, 2014, at UFC Fight Night 54.[6] 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.[7]
