Welcome to the UFC: Joo Sang Yoo
Briefly

Joo Sang Yoo, a South Korean featherweight fighter with a perfect professional record of 8-0, is debuting in the UFC at UFC 316 against Jeka Saragih. Unlike many fighters, Yoo skipped the traditional routes like Dana White's Contender Series, The Ultimate Fighter, and Road to UFC. He's known for his flashy fighting style, low hand placement, and striking skills – particularly his jabs and deceptive feints. However, he needs to refine his spinning kicks, which often drain his energy, and avoid being hesitant when facing stronger opponents in the Octagon. His bold persona makes him a compelling fighter to watch.
