Korean Tiger Lee Jung-young (30) took the opportunity. Yu Ju-sang, who is unable to participate due to an unexpected injury, will take the place of Octagon this weekend. Lee Jung-young is aiming to escape two consecutive losses against "Dream Killer" Gaston Bolaños (33, Peru).

ROAD TO UFC UFC Season 1 featherweight (65.8kg) winner Lee Jung-young will face Gaston Bolaños at the undercard of UFC 326: Holloway vs Oliveira 2 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on the 8th (Korea time).

After losing to Daniel Santos at UFC 315 in May last year, it is expected that the return match in 10 months will erase the regret of Yuju's departure with a victory.

Time to show the performance of the U.S. training. Lee Jung-young, a tiger who commanded Asia, fell into a slump with one win and two losses after entering the world stage UFC. After two consecutive losses, Lee Jung-young was shocked enough to think about retiring. Lee Jung-young, determined, left for Arizona, the U.S., where the MMA's prestigious mixed martial arts (MMA) team is located, in August last year to revive. He trained for seven months while living in the United States, not just in a short-term training camp.

Fightredi produced former UFC flyweight-bantamweight champion Henry Sehudo, and "Korean Zombie" Jung Chan-sung is also a team that has trained for a long time. Jung Chan-sung's teacher, Korean-American batting coach Eddie Cha, coached Lee Jung-young and helped him adapt to the U.S. in both ways.

Lee Jung-young is ready to roar once again with the help of the FightReady family. He traveled to Mexico City to help his training partner Daniel Zelhoover, who competed in the "UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs Cabana" competition last weekend. In the meantime, he accepted the match against Gaston Bolaños after receiving an offer to play as a substitute for Yu Ju-sang, who was thwarted by a toe injury. It was a sudden proposal, but he is determined to use it as an opportunity because he is well prepared.

Against Lee Jung-young, Bolaños has trained Muay Thai since he was 12 years old. He played more than 50 games and became a champion several times. After switching to MMA, he played in Bellator and UFC. He has two wins and two losses in the UFC. After working as a bantamweight (61.2 kg) for a while, he returned to the featherweight (65.8 kg) after four years.

Both Lee Jung-young and Bolaños boast outstanding batting decisiveness. Lee Jung-young finished with knockouts four of his 11 wins (three losses) and Bolaños finished with knockouts six of his eight wins (five losses). The grappling match is another highlight. Lee Jung-young has strong submission technology with a black belt of jiu-jitsu. But his wrestling skills have yet to be verified. Bolaños was taken to the ground 12 times in total, having been takedown in all four UFC fights. The Takedown ERA is 42%.

In the main event of 'UFC 326: Holloway vs Oliveira 2', where Lee Jung-young will compete, a lightweight (70.3kg) event for the BMF title match will be held to determine the best man in the UFC. Former UFC featherweight champion BMF champion Max Holloway (34, USA) will defend the title against former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira (36, Brazil). UFC 326 will be broadcast on TVING from 8:30 a.m. on March 8.
