Yu Ju-sang (31), the successor of "Korean zombie" Jung Chan-sung (38), will overcome his bitter first defeat and enter the Octagon again.

UFC officially announced that Yu Ju-sang will clash with Gaston Bolaños from Peru at the UFC 326: Holloway vs Oliveira 2 competition at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on March 8 (Korea time).

This game is an important match for Yu Ju-sang. At the last UFC 320 tournament, Yu Ju-sang recorded his first defeat since his professional debut, losing to Daniel Santos (Brazil) in a shocking second round TKO.

At that time, Yu Ju-sang captured the audience with his relaxed movements and provocative gestures in the first round, but collapsed early in the second round due to the opponent's powerful left-handed hook.

American sports media "ESPN" pointed out that "Yu Ju-sang's spectacular performance was attractive, but he proved that charisma alone cannot win the fight." Immediately after the game, Yu Ju-sang also acknowledged the defeat through personal social networking services (SNS), saying, "I'm sorry, I lost coolly."

Yu Ju-sang is still a rising star that the UFC is paying attention to. In his debut UFC 316 last year, he made a strong impression on fans around the world by winning the KO with a picturesque left-handed check hook 28 seconds after the start of the match against Zeka Saragi (Indonesia).

At the time, local media praised his move, comparing it to Conor McGregor. UFC President Simjing Dana White also praised Yoo Joo-sang, saying, "I'm happy to recruit him." He also received a $50,000 bonus for "Performance of the Night" and was recognized for his hot performance.

Yu Ju-sang, who has experienced a series of debut wins and first losses, seeks a rebound in his return. Coincidentally, the venue of this game is Las Vegas T-Mobile Arena, which suffered its last defeat.

Opponent Gaston Bolaños is a kickboxing base hitter. It is expected to face Yuju-sang, who prefers a hot batting battle.

The main event of UFC 326, in which Yu Ju-sang will compete, will be held as a BMF (Boy In Luv) title match. Current BMF champion Max Holloway will play the title defense in the lightweight division against Charles Oliveira. The two players have faced each other in the featherweight division in the past, and Holloway won at the time. This match is the second match to raise the weight class.

In the comain event, the middleweight ranking 7th Kaiu Bohalyu and the 8th Rainier leader will clash. In addition, luxury matches will be held, including a lightweight match between Henato Moicano and Brian Ortega and a bantamweight match between Rob Font and Raul Rosas Jr.
