Background

His mother had to work 3 jobs to support her son growing up.[1] As homage to his heritage Rencountre carries the flag of the Osage nation when entering the ring.[1][4] His sister Alexis Rencountre is the Osage Nation's elections supervisor. He is the first member of the Osage tribe to compete in the UFC.[5]

Rencountre made his UFC debut on June 1, 2018, when he came in as a late substitute for Niko Price to face Belal Muhammad at UFC Fight Night: Rivera vs. Moraes.[8] he lost the fight by unanimous decision.

Rencountre was initially suppose to fight Randy Brown at UFC Fight Night: Cejudo vs. Dillashaw, but Brown pulled out in the week leading up to the event.[9] Dwight Grant was soon announced as his replacement, but it was later reported that he was unable to be cleared to fight due to an "eye issue".[10] Promotional newcomer Kyle Stewart was then announced as Rencountre's new opponent.[11] Rencountre won the fight via a rear-naked choke submission in the first round.[12]
