UFC flyweight fighter Park Hyun-seong
Korea’s first UFC flyweight (56.7kg) fighter Park Hyun-seong (28) is aiming for his 10th consecutive win in mixed martial arts and his 3rd consecutive win on the UFC stage.
The opponent is Andre Lima (25, Brazil), who won by disqualification for the first time in UFC history after being bitten by an opponent’s ‘nuclear teeth.’
Hyun-Sung Park will meet former South American kickboxing champion Lima at ‘UFC 302: Makhachev vs. Poirier’, which will be held at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, USA on June 2 (Korean time).
Park Hyun-sung has a mixed martial arts record of 9 wins and undefeated, and Lima has 8 wins and undefeated, so one of the two fighters must suffer the bitter taste of his first loss.
The fighter who wins this match can reach the threshold of the UFC flyweight top 15 ranking. 파워볼사이트
Hyun-seong Park defeated Choi Seung-guk in the finals of Road to UFC Season 1 in February of last year and officially signed a contract with the UFC, and in December of the same year, he defeated Shannon Ross by TKO in the second round and earned his second consecutive win in the UFC.
Hyun-sung Park won the match with Ross with a body shot followed by ground and pound and received a ‘Performance of the Night’ bonus of $50,000 (about 70 million won).
The performance was so impressive that UFC CEO Dana White called him aside and praised him.
Hyunsung Park vs Lima UFC flyweight match
Lima is a fighter who attracted attention by winning his UFC debut against Igor Severino last month after being bitten by his opponent.
At that time, Lima was bitten on the bicep of his left arm by Severino, and received the ‘Bite of the Night’ bonus from the UFC office, not the ‘Fight of the Night’.
Immediately after the game, he got a tattoo in the shape of the tooth marks on his biceps.
Park Hyun-seong, who was going to fight the hot topic player, expressed confidence, saying, “I don’t feel any pressure. After watching the video of Lima’s last game, I thought he was an opponent I could easily beat.”
Park Hyun-seong, who used the ring name ‘Piece of Mind’ to express his determination to play calmly and not get excited, said, “If I focus on my opponent, I will get lost. I will play the game focusing on what I am good at.”
Park Hyun-sung, who is based on Muay Thai, is considered an all-rounder who is also excellent at grappling.
The main event of UFC 302, in which Park Hyun-sung participates, will feature UFC lightweight (70.3 kg) champion Islam Makhachev (Russia) defending his title for the third time against ranked No. 4 Dustin Poirier (USA). 한국야동
