Mr. Perfect Kyung Ho Kang no longer with the UFC

[Big Al's Texas BBQ]

According to auto translate, it sounds like he's no longer a UFC fighter. I don't know if he got cut or he just didn't get resigned. Either way, his time with the UFC is over. His first UFC fight was in 2012. Pretty impressive length of tenure imo.

Via Google translate:

"Hello, I am former UFC fighter Kang Kyung-ho

Today, my contract with UFC ended. It has been a long 13 years since I first signed with UFC in 2012 and my contract ends in 2025, but looking back, it felt like a fleeting moment.

Every day, I sweated and trained hard, lost over 10kg in pain, and when I entered the cage, my fear turned into excitement when I heard the cheers of the audience. When I won the match, I felt an irreplaceable joy, and when I lost, I felt frustration. However, looking back, all of these moments were happy.

In the blink of an eye, a young man in his mid-20s became a man in his late 30s I did my best, so I have no regrets. I sincerely thank the fans who laughed and cried with me and cheered me on all night and in the morning. I am who I am because of you. I

am so excited and looking forward to my future life. Please give me lots of support. I will cheer you on too. Thank you"

Yet fucking Don'tale Mayes is still on the roster.

37 year old at bantamweight and lost his last two. Makes sense tbh even though I don't mind the guy.

Yet they resigned 0-4 Istela Nunes.... just so McCann could pick up a win

The 2013 UFC Korean Wave will always be an awesome time.



While KZ is in the military, we had Stungun Kim, Hyun Gyu Lim, Kyung Ho Kang

and of course Kang Yebin..

..and not forgetting Lee Su Jung

Skilled all-around fighter and had mostly fun fights. A little frustrating that his fight IQ cost him some fights but appreciate his efforts in trying to go finishes whenever he had a chance to. A bit sharper fight IQ and maybe a dash of luck and I think he would have cracked into the top 15 but BW is a stacked division so no shame in never quite reaching it.

Also, no homo but he's a handsome fella and probably can transition well into non-fighting stuff like DHK, KZ etc.

His fight with Tanaka was a memorable grappling classic.

His fight with Shimizu gave us a glorious commentary flub where Brian Stann just didn't understand how point deductions worked.

Damn, I really enjoyed his fights.

What happened there?

What happened there?

Kang got deducted two points in the first round for using downward elbows while he had Shimizu in a mounted triangle. Stann repeatedly declared that it was therefore impossible for Kang to win the decision because he lost two points, and that Kang needed to win all 3 rounds to get a draw.
