Fight on after missing weight
Gordon will be penalized 20 percent of his purse for his fight against Jimmy Flick at UFC 297 on Saturday after missing the flyweight limit, MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gordon was one of the final fighters to take the scale but came in at 127.5 pounds for Saturday's matchup. He also missed weight for his previous fight in March and has lost his past two bouts, which could put him on precarious ground with the promotion. Flick isn't in a great spot himself, as he's also coming off consecutive losses.

Fighting Flick at UFC 297
Gordon will fight Jimmy Flick at UFC 297 on Jan. 20, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Coming off back-to-back losses to Muhammad Mokaev and Jake Hadley, Gordon will be desperate to get back into the win column against Flick, who has also dropped consecutive fights. Gordon holds a 2-4 record in the UFC, so taking another loss could put his future with the promotion in jeopardy.

Lasts 61 seconds after weight miss
Gordon lost to Jake Hadley via TKO (punches) at 1:01 of Round 1 at UFC 286 on Saturday in London.
ANALYSIS
Missing weight by 3.5 pounds on Friday morning and then lasting all of 61 seconds is a good way to lose your job. Gordon was forced to forfeit 30 percent of his purse to Hadley in order for his fight to proceed, only to eat a massive body shot a minute into the bout which ended his evening. Gordon has been very streaky throughout his brief UFC run, losing his first two bouts, winning the next two and losing his last two. He probably needs a victory his next time out in order to save his roster spot.
