Background
Hettes is a 2-time Keystone State Games Judo Gold Medalist and earned the nickname "Judo Jim" at Greg Jackson's Camp in Albuquerque, NM. Hettes started boxing at age 14 and started training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at the age of 16 and is currently the head instructor at Northeastern Ju-Jitsu in Swoyersville, Pennsylvania.
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Hettes was originally expected to make his UFC debut in December 2010 as part of The Ultimate Fighter: Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck Finale card; Hettes turned the offer down due to prior engagements with another promotion. In July 2011, Hettes officially signed with the UFC.[1]
Hettes made his promotional debut on August 14, 2011 against Alex Caceres, replacing an injured Leonard Garcia.[2] He won via submission (rear naked choke) at 3:12 of round 2.
Hettes defeated Nam Phan on December 30, 2011 at UFC 141.[3] Hettes used his superior judo to take Phan down repeatedly, and also utilized excellent control on the ground. He landed a great deal of unanswered ground and pound and threatened with submissions throughout, taking a dominant unanimous decision (30-25, 30-25, 30-26).
Hettes was expected to face Steven Siler on June 22, 2012 at UFC on FX 4.[4] However, Hettes was forced out of the bout with an injury and replaced by promotional newcomer Joey Gambino.[5]
Hettes faced Marcus Brimage on September 22, 2012 at UFC 152.[6] He lost the fight via unanimous decision, his first professional loss.
Hettes was expected to face Steven Siler on April 27, 2013 at UFC 159.[7] However, Hettes was forced to pull out of the bout with an injury and replaced by Kurt Holobaugh.[8]
After 13 months away, Hettes returned to the UFC in October 2013. He was expected to face Mike Wilkinson on October 26, 2013 at UFC Fight Night 30.[9] However, Wilkinson pulled out of the bout in the week leading up the bout and was replaced by newcomer Rob Whiteford.[10] Hettes won the fight via submission in the second round.
Hettes is expected to face Dennis Bermudez on March 15, 2014 at UFC 171.[11]
