China's lightweight player Rong Zhong and the women's welterweight Wu Yanan confirmed that they will compete in the UFC Fighting Night event held on February 27, Beijing time. The opponent of the owner will be the Chilean Ignacio Bajamonds, while the opponent of Wu Yanan will be the Brazilian woman Josia Núñez.
The current record is 18 wins and 4 losses, including 12 KO and 4 surrender wins. The owner signed to the UFC through the UFC's elite training program and made his octagonal debut last April, but ultimately lost to Rodrigue Vargas by consensus. In September, the owner made his debut again, this time with a clear advantage in the third leg when TKO terminated Brandon Jenkins, winning his first victory in the UFC.
Ignacio Bajamonds currently has a record of 12 wins and 4 losses, including nine KO wins. Bahammond signed to the UFC through Season 4 White's "Tuesday Challenger", who also lost his octagonal debut and lost to John Madesy by disagreement.
Last August, Bahamunds also scored his first victory at the UFC, koing Roosevelt Roberts with a brilliant backspin and getting the "best performance" bonus of the night.
Josia Nunez currently has a record of 8 wins and 1 loss, with 7 KO wins. Núñez's only career defeat came from Terra Santos, who is currently ranked No. 5 in the women's flyweight, and she lost to her opponents in the 2013 match.
Núñez has since gone on a seven-game winning streak and ended six of them with KO/TKO. Last August, Núñez signed for the UFC and ko beat Bi-Maleky in the first leg of his debut, excelling in standing-up strikes.
Wu Yanan's current record is 12 wins and 4 losses, including 6 KO and 5 surrender wins. Wu Yanan was one of the first Chinese women to sign a UFC contract, and her first UFC win was at a UFC event in Beijing in November 2018, when she subdued Lauren Mueller with an arm cross, which was also her first attempt at flyweight competition.
Wu Yanan was originally scheduled to play former UFC women's flyweight champion Nico Montanio in August last year, but the match was eventually cancelled due to the withdrawal of his opponent. For this competition, she will go to the United States in advance for preparation training. In this battle, Lord Rong and Wu Yanan will become the "vanguard", start the first battle of the UFC Chinese Legion in 2022, and look forward to their performance in the octagonal cage!
