Background

Rencountre was born to a single mother in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, which is part of the reservation of the Osage Nation. His mother had to work three 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 supposed 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]

Rencountre faced Ismail Naurdiev on July 6, 2019, at UFC 239.[13] He won the fight via unanimous decision.[14]

Rencountre was scheduled to face Jake Lindsey in a rematch at FAC 8 on May 7, 2021.[19] However, Lindsey withdrew from the bout and was replaced by Cliff Wright. Rencountre won the bout via rear-naked choke at the end of the first round.[20]

Rencountre was rescheduled against Jake Lindsey at FAC 11 on December 10, 2021. He won the bout via rear-nake choke in the second round.[21]
