John Nguyen The Dragon From Calgary
At 32 years old, John Nguyen has become a fixture in Calgary’s MMA scene. Standing 5 foot 9 and fighting under the moniker The Dragon, he carries a professional record of 8 wins and 5 losses into the featherweight division. A native of Alberta’s largest city, Nguyen has logged six bouts in his last campaign and deliberately returned to 145 pounds for his two most recent appearances.
Nguyen currently sits at number 142 in the North America featherweight rankings and holds spots in both the Canada and Western Canada lists. Those placements reflect a regional system that rewards activity—in his last six fights he has faced opponents at least twice in Canada—and acknowledges his recent commitment to the featherweight class. His trajectory highlights the grind of a working pro striving to turn local success into broader recognition.
