Austin Lingo (born July 10, 1994) is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the Featherweight division. A professional since 2017, he is most notable for his stint in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Lingo began training in martial arts at a young age after his father found out he’d been involved in a street fight. Lingo started boxing, along with training Tae Kwon Do, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai. He became so enthralled in the latter that he went across the globe to train in the birthplace of Muay Thai, Thailand.[3]
