A Busan judoka nicknamed for his hands but winning UFC fights with his hips: 2-0 in the promotion via smothering decisions over Oban Elliott and Phil Rowe, going a combined 10-for-14 on takedowns with over 23 minutes of control time. Absorbs just 1.42 strikes per minute, the stingiest defense on this card. Riding a six-fight win streak; both career losses are early knockouts from way back on the Asian circuit.
