Iaquinta, who is of Italian descent, wrestled at Wantagh High School [4] and went on to earn his associate degree from Nassau Community College, where he also wrestled. [5] Before turning pro, Iaquinta had a perfect amateur record of 14–0. Iaquinta began his pro MMA career fighting for the Ring of Combat promotion. There, he earned a record of 5–1–1. [6]

The Ultimate Fighter

Iaquinta was one of 32 lightweight fighters announced by the UFC to participate in first live season of The Ultimate Fighter reality show. [7] Iaquinta advanced into the TUF house by defeating Jon Tuck by unanimous decision after one round. [8] Afterwards, he was chosen as first pick for Team Faber.

After his team lost the first two matches, Iaquinta earned the first win for Team Faber by defeating Myles Jury via split decision after three rounds. [9]

In the quarter-finals, Iaquinta fought Team Faber teammate, Andy Ogle. Iaquinta won via TKO in the closing moments of round one. [10] The win advanced Iaquinta into the semi-finals where he faced Team Cruz's Vinc Pichel. Iaquinta defeated Pichel via unanimous decision after two rounds and moved on to the finals against teammate Michael Chiesa. [11]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Iaquinta officially made his UFC debut at The Ultimate Fighter 15 Finale on June 1, 2012, against Michael Chiesa to determine the winner of The Ultimate Fighter: Live. Iaquinta lost to Chiesa by submission due to a rear naked choke early in the first round. [12]

Iaquinta was expected to face Joe Proctor on April 27, 2013, at UFC 159. [13] However, the bout was scrapped as both fighters sustained training injuries leading up to the fight. [14]

Iaquinta faced Ryan Couture on August 31, 2013, at UFC 164, replacing an injured Quinn Mulhern. [15] He won the bout via unanimous decision, after dominating the fight on the feet and negating all of Couture's takedown attempts.

Iaquinta was expected to face Anthony Njokuani on October 26, 2013, at UFC Fight Night 30, replacing an injured Paul Taylor. [16] Then on September 24, Njokuani pulled out of the event with an injury. [17] Iaquinta instead faced Piotr Hallmann. [18] He won the fight by unanimous decision (29–28, 30–27, and 30–27).

Iaquinta faced Kevin Lee at UFC 169 on February 8, 2014. He won the fight by unanimous decision (29–28, 29–28, and 28–27). [19]

Iaquinta faced Mitch Clarke at UFC 173 on May 24, 2014. [20] He lost the fight via submission (D'arce choke) in the second round.

Iaquinta faced Rodrigo Damm at UFC Fight Night 50 on September 5, 2014. [21] Iaquinta defeated Damm via third-round TKO. [22] [23]

Iaquinta was expected to face Bobby Green on July 15, 2015, at UFC Fight Night 71. [31] However, Green pulled out of the fight in mid-June, citing an undisclosed injury, and he was replaced by Gilbert Melendez. [32] Subsequently, Melendez was removed from the card on July 6, after it was revealed that he tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs after his previous fight at UFC 188. [33] In turn, Iaquinta was removed from the card as well. [34]

Iaquinta was expected to face Thiago Alves on November 12, 2016, at UFC 205. [35] However, Iaquinta announced on September 19 that he would not be taking the fight due to a contract dispute with the promotion. [36]

After two years away from the sport, Iaquinta returned to face Diego Sanchez on April 22, 2017, at UFC Fight Night 108. [37] He won the fight via knockout in the first round. [38]

Iaquinta was expected to face Paul Felder on December 2, 2017, at UFC 218. [39] However, Iaquinta pulled out of the fight on October 31 due to being unsatisfied with his current contract, and he was replaced by Charles Oliveira. [40]

UFC Lightweight Championship fight

The bout with Felder was rescheduled and was expected to take place on April 7, 2018, at UFC 223. [41] However, because of an injury to interim UFC Lightweight Champion Tony Ferguson and the state athletic commission's decision to pull replacement UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway over concerns over his weight cut, Iaquinta was scheduled as a replacement against Khabib Nurmagomedov in the five round main event. [42] Although the fight was scheduled for the vacant UFC Lightweight Championship, only Nurmagomedov was eligible to win the championship due to Iaquinta weighing in at 155.2 lbs which is two tenths of a pound over the championship weight limit of 155. Iaquinta had already weighed in for his fight against Paul Felder prior to officially being announced as the new replacement. Non-championship bouts allow fighters to weigh in one pound over the limit. [43] Ultimately, Iaquinta lost the fight via unanimous decision. [44]

Post UFC Lightweight Championship fight

Iaquinta was scheduled to face Justin Gaethje on August 25, 2018, at UFC Fight Night 135. [45] However, on June 28, 2018, Iaquinta withdrew from the bout, and he was replaced by James Vick. [46]

Iaquinta faced Kevin Lee in a rematch on December 15, 2018, at UFC on Fox 31. [47] He won the fight by unanimous decision. [48] This win earned him the Performance of the Night award. [49]

Iaquinta faced Donald Cerrone on May 4, 2019, at UFC Fight Night 151. [50] He lost the fight via unanimous decision. [51] This fight earned him the Fight of the Night bonus award. [52]

Iaquinta faced Dan Hooker on October 6, 2019, at UFC 243. [53] He lost the fight via unanimous decision. [54]

Iaquinta faced Bobby Green on November 6, 2021, at UFC 268. [55] Iaquinta lost the fight via first round TKO, marking the first time that he lost by TKO in his professional MMA career. [56]

Iaquinta said in an interview on the MMA Hour he wasn't sure if he was retired yet and he's up in the air in regards to this. [57]

Submission Underground

On February 23, 2020, Iaquinta faced Mike Perry at Chael Sonnen's Submission Underground 11 event. [58] He lost the fight via fastest escape time. [59] [60]
