Chinese bantamweight out of the UFC Performance Institute in Shanghai who built a 38-fight record on the domestic circuit before winning his way in through Road to UFC Season 2. He is a high-volume sanda striker with a deep well of regional submission wins, though he has leaned almost entirely on his hands since reaching the UFC. He has dropped three of his four promotional bouts, most recently a unanimous decision to Cody Garbrandt at UFC 326 in March 2026.
