Lee Jung-young has recently won 6 consecutive wins, accumulating a total of 9 wins and 1 loss. After defeating Choi Mu-gyeom in 2018 to become the Road FC featherweight champion, he defeated Park Hae-jin by KO in 2019 to successfully defend the title for the first time.

After 2 years and 9 months of hiatus, he competed in Road to UFC, so he was concerned about ring rust, but he boasted sharp performance with two consecutive finish victories.

Now is the time to prove the management ability to take the initiative for 15 minutes in the third round.

Lee Jung-young originally planned to face Lee at the UFC Fight Night Seoul event, which was scheduled to take place on the 4th of next month at the KSPO Dome (former Olympic Gymnastics Arena) in Seoul. However, the tournament was canceled and the venue was changed to Las Vegas.

Lee Jung-young, who has never fought in the United States since his debut, moves to the United States early on the 20th to fully prepare and begins to adapt to the local environment.

In the road to UFC flyweight final, a confrontation between Koreans was realized. Park Hyeon-sung and Choi Seung-guk compete in a single-legged match over a single UFC contract
