The main event is Korean UFC fighter Jung Da-woon and Michael Groguier, a former PFL member of the world’s No. 2 mixed martial arts group, 5 minutes x 3 rounds of heavyweight.

Jung Daun made his debut as the 17th fighter of the Korean UFC in August 2019. Every time he played as the first and still only UFC light heavyweight (93kg), he changed the history of mixed martial arts.

UFC 4 wins, 4 losses and 1 draw until 2024. Ellorating Career High scored 2938 points. ▲”Korean zombie” Jung Chan-sung (3140 points) ▲ “Sturgeon” Kim Dong-hyun (3087 points) and the next Korean is ▲ Jung-down.

The Elaborating System is widely used in evaluating the superiority and inferiority of players and teams in various sports such as football, baseball, basketball, billiards, go, e-sports, etc. Jung Chan-sung, one of the best mixed martial arts in Korea, is a featherweight (66kg) and Kim Dong-hyun is a welterweight (77kg).

If we approach it from the primitive perspective of who is the strongest in an indiscriminate competition without weight limit due to their ability in their heyday, light heavyweight class Jung-down is the strongest in Korean mixed martial arts history.

“I trained nonstop for two years even after my UFC contract ended,” Jung said. I’ll prove it again with a heart that hasn’t given up. “I’m excited to return to the hometown-like TFC stage and say hello to domestic fans,” he said.
