Two more fights have been added to the UFC Busan card. In the bantamweight division local favourite Kyung Ho Kang has been matched with Pingyuan Liu on December 21st.
Kang (16-8) is a former Road FC bantamweight champion. He’s been on the UFC roster since 2013 and has won five of his last six fights.
The Busan Team MAD representative will be fighting in his hometown and has been matched with Liu (15-5). The Chinese fighter has won two out of his three UFC fights to date.
The other addition to the card sees Said Nurmagomedov (13-1) go up against Raoni Barcelos (14-1) in a welterweight bout. Both men are undefeated in their UFC careers and will be looking to crack the top ten with a win here.
As previously announced the event will be headlined by a featherweight fight between Jung Chan Sung and Brian Ortega. Further local interest will be provided by the presence of Korean fighters Jung Da Un, Choi Doo-Ho, Kim Ji-Yeon and Park Jun Yong.
This will be the third card in quick succession in Asia. UFC Fight Night Singapore was last month and UFC Shenzhen was held recently as well as UFC 242 which took place in Abu Dhabi.
