The debut of the 26th Korean UFC fighter has been confirmed. Newcomer Lee Isaac (26), a member of the Korean Top Team (KTT), will make his Octagon debut in Macau in May and take his first step on the world's best stage.
UFC revealed the "UFC Fight Night: Song Ya-dong vs Figueredo" match to be held at the Galaxy Arena in Macau on May 30th through an official announcement on the 31st.
The most noticeable part of this competition is the middleweight showdown between Lee Isaac and Luis Felipe Gias of Brazil.
Lee Isaac is a judo-based grappler well known as the teammate of "Iron Turtle" Park Joon-yong. Based on solid judo techniques, he has proven his skills by building a record of 8 wins and 1 loss on the MMA stage. Isak's debut opponent, Gias, is a strong player who has been proven through Dana White's Contender Series (DWCS). Both players are expected to have a fierce battle as this is their official UFC debut.
The Macau event will not only feature Lee Isaac's debut, but also the opening round of season 5 of "ROAD TO UFC," a gateway to Asian prospects. The tournament, which will be held for two days on May 28 and 29, will feature a large number of Korean next-generation runners.
In particular, in the featherweight division, Song Young-jae, Kim Dong-hyun's student and AFC champion, will play a Korea-Japan match with Japan's DEEP champion Aoi Jin. His opponent, Aoi Jin, lost to Yoon Chang-min, Song Young-jae's teammate, last season. Lim Kwan-woo of the same weight class will compete against China's Ahejiang Irish for a ticket to the quarterfinals.
In the bantamweight division, ring championship champion Shin Yoo-min will face Ryuho (Japan), U.S. baseball team, while Park Bo-hyun, a female strawweight, will face Donghua Xiang (China). Donghwa Xiang is a formidable opponent with a history of losing to last season's winner, Sming.
Lee Isaac's main competition, 'UFC Fight Night: Song Ya-dong vs Figueredo', will be broadcast live in Asia primetime on May 30. The main event is a top-ranker match between fifth-ranked Song Ya-dong and former flyweight champion Davison Figueredo.
