The style
Jun Yong Park, known as 'The Iron Turtle,' is a 35-year-old South Korean middleweight who trains out of Korean Top Team. A heavy top-control grappler, six of his 19 pro wins have come by submission and he set a UFC middleweight record for total head strikes landed in a bout during a 2020 win over John Phillips. After going 2-1 across his last three fights, including split- and unanimous-decision wins over Brad Tavares and Ismail Naurdiev, he dropped a unanimous decision to Ikram Aliskerov at UFC 321 in October 2025. He withdrew from an April 2026 bout against Edmen Shahbazyan due to injury and is now booked to return against Marco Tulio at UFC Saudi Arabia.
