Tom Phillipe Duquesnoy [2] (born June 21, 1993, in Lens, Pas-de-Calais, France) is a retired French mixed martial artist. He is the former undisputed BAMMA Featherweight Champion and undisputed BAMMA Bantamweight Champion, and fought in the bantamweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). [3]
He is known for his quick striking and dynamic style. In 2015, Duquesnoy was named the #1 featherweight prospect in the world and "one of the very best talents in all of MMA", [4] and was ranked the #1 prospect worldwide in all of MMA for both 2016 [5] and 2017. [6]
Tom Duquesnoy was born in Lens, France, and grew up there until he moved to Paris when he was 18. His grandparents had moved to Lens from Poland after World War II, hoping to find work in the city's coal mines. After the mines closed in the 1960s, the residents moved on to other pursuits. Duquesnoy's father encouraged him to learn martial arts to protect himself, and he began training in sambo at the age of 12. He eventually became interested in other forms of martial arts, including boxing, wrestling, and muay Thai. When he turned 18, his father offered to pay for a year of living and training in Paris, on the condition that Duquesnoy could prove he could make a career from fighting. Duquesnoy went on to have a successful amateur career, with a record of 7–1, and made his professional debut in February 2012. Despite suffering his only loss in February 2013, Duquesnoy has continued to fight and win in various combat sports. [7] [8]
After moving to Paris, Duquesnoy fought as an amateur and compiled a 7–1 record before turning professional in February 2012. [9]
Duquesnoy made his professional MMA debut in February 2012. Over the next five years he fought at various events across Europe and amassed a record of 14 wins, one loss and one No Contest.
Duquesnoy made his promotional debut against Patrick Williams on April 16, 2017, at UFC on Fox 24. After nearly finishing Williams at the end of the first round, he won the fight via TKO in the opening minute of the second round. [10]
Duquesnoy faced Cody Stamann on October 7, 2017, at UFC 216. [11] He lost the fight by split decision. [12]
Duquesnoy faced Terrion Ware on March 17, 2018, at UFC Fight Night 127. [13] He won the fight by unanimous decision. [14]
Duquesnoy was scheduled to face Nathaniel Wood on December 29, 2018, at UFC 232. [15] However, Duquesnoy pulled out of the fight on November 12 citing a rib injury. [16]
On May 12, 2019, Duquesnoy announced his retirement from professional MMA competition. [17]
Duquesnoy's moniker "Fire Kid" was coined for his explosive energy who has a very young appearance for a fighter. [18]
