In 1993, Gordeau was scouted to take part in UFC 1, the first event of Ultimate Fighting Championship.

As he had been a savate champion the previous year, he was billed solely as a savate artist. According to him, he was initially pitted against Royce Gracie in the first round of the tournament, but when the organizers found out that Gordeau had fought in Japan, they changed the matchup: Gracie would fight boxer Art Jimmerson instead, while Gordeau would face 400 pound sumo wrestler Teila Tuli on the opposite side of the bracket.
