Only 20 fighters take part in the event. The rest are before the regular competition.
Lee Chang-ho (30) also succeeded in advancing to the UFC by winning the quarterfinals tournament of RTU Season 2 Bantamweight (61kg) in June 2024, but has yet to officially participate. Meanwhile, KTGRZ SPORTS announced the signing of a sponsorship, saying, “We support Lee Chang-ho’s UFC debut scheduled for March 2025.” 안전놀이터
Road to UFC was launched in 2022 to discover MMA talents in Asia. Kwak Hyung-joo, CEO of KTG Sports, said, “Lee Chang-ho is a fighter with global potential. We will generously support him for his first successful UFC fight.”
Combination martial arts ranking system “Fight Matrix” gives Lee 71 points. His 71 points are currently in the 50th and top 61.7 percent of UFC bantamweight division. In three events of RTU Season 2, he recorded ▲ successful shot 159 ▲ allowed effective shot 86 ▲ superiority of 9 minutes 36 seconds ▲ inferiority of grappling 13 minutes and 50 seconds.
“No matter how good you are, the story will be different if you hit me,” he said, adding that he had 64.9% of the effective batting share with Ground and Pound, which he is proud of, but the fact that the grappling dominance was only 41.0% needs to be supplemented in order to be on the main stage of the UFC, where there are more wrestlers than RTU.
Of course, it’s clear what’s more to look forward to. During the Road to UFC Season 2 bantamweight tournament in 392 days, the “Fight Matrix” rating rose by 2.37 times and 57.7%.
Since March 2015, Lee has played 16 games for 3,396 days (9 years, 3 months and 16 days) since his debut in mixed martial arts, and has never lost by knockout or submission. It can be said that he combines above-average hawk, batting avoidance and defense, and jiu-jitsu defense.
