Seok Hyeon Ko, nicknamed 'Technical,' is a 33-year-old South Korean welterweight and a combat sambo world champion, the first Korean to win gold at the FIAS World Championships. He won his first two UFC fights, decisions over Oban Elliott and Phil Rowe, before dropping a close decision to Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani in July 2026 for his first loss inside the Octagon. He now looks to bounce back against long-idle Brazilian Wellington Turman.
