Jorge Luis Rivera (born February 28, 1972) is a mixed martial arts fighter who was featured on The Ultimate Fighter 4. His first fight in the UFC was a unanimous decision victory over David Loiseau at UFC 44. He then followed up with back-to-back submission losses to Lee Murray at UFC 46 and Rich Franklin at UFC 50 before rebounding with a unanimous decision win over Dennis Hallman at UFC 55.
Rivera was defeated by Chris Leben by technical knockout before appearing on The Ultimate Fighter 4 as a middleweight contestant. Although Rivera was not successful in achieving a slot in the middleweight finals, he appeared on the undercard of The Ultimate Fighter 4 Finale, defeating Edwin DeWees by technical knockout in the first round. Jorge defeated Kendall Grove at 1:20 by TKO in the first round.
