UFC signs top China fighter to bolster Asia return
Print Edition
THE world’s biggest mixed martial arts organization, the Las Vegas-based Ultimate Fighting Championship, yesterday revealed that it had signed one of China’s top MMA stars to boost its recently announced return to Asia.
Wang “The Dongbei Tiger” Guan, 30, has been pencilled in to make his debut with the organization in Singapore on June 17. “It’s a dream come true, my ability is approved by the UFC now,” said Wang in a statement. “This also means the opponents I face next will be the best in the world. This will push me to train even harder.” Wang has done the majority of his MMA fighting with the Shanghai-based Ranik Ultimate Fighting Federation, where he became featherweight champion and had just one defeat in 17 fights (15-1-1). He joins welterweight Li Jingliang and featherweight Ning Guangyou as the third Chinese fighter on UFC’s books.
