William Francis Algeo[1] (born June 9, 1989) is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the Featherweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Background[]

Bill Algeo, a Delaware county native, started his martial arts career at the age of 14 when he decided to follow his brother into the wrestling room.  He started off with a less than stellar 0-14 record, but four years later he went on to become All-State and captain of the wrestling team.[4]

He started Brazilian jiu-jitsu at 18.  At 20 years old he was running a BJJ program at Penn State University where he was going to school full time for his B.A. in accounting.  While he was a full time student, he was also a member of the Penn State boxing team, and started his mixed martial arts career.  He went on to become an undefeated amateur(even broke his foot in a fight and still won), until turning pro in 2011. [4]

Mixed martial arts career[]

Early career[]

A professional mixed martial artist since June 2012 and representing Algeo MMA and Kickboxing, in his MMA debut, he submitted David Miller via arm-triangle choke in the first round. Losing his next bout against Dean Lavin via first round armbar, Algeo would go win his next 5 bouts, tapping out 4 of them and ending the other via TKO. Losing to future UFC fighter Shane Burgos in his next bout at CFFC 42 via unanimous decision, he defeated his next two foes via decision in Anthony Terrell and Jeff Lentz at CFFC 49 and CFFC 57, missing weight in his championship bout against Lentz, meaning he was unable to win the title. In his second try for the CFFC Featherweight title, he lost to Jared Gordon via unanimous decision. For his debut fight with Ring Of Combat at ROC 61, Algeo faced Tim Dooling and went on to defeat him via TKO in the second round, winning the ROC Featherweight title.[5] He would defend his title three times, defeating James Gonzalez via unanimous decision at ROC 63, knocking out Scott Heckman in the second round at ROC 65, and tapping out John de Jesus via rear-naked choke in the second round at ROC 67.[6] After this win, he was invited to Dana White's Contender Series 17, where he lost to Brendan Loughnane via unanimous decision.[7] Algeo would return to CFFC for CFFC 83, where rematched against Tim Dooling, once again winning against him, this time via unanimous decision.[8]
