BIOGRAPHY

Kyung Ho Kang is a mixed martial artist currently competing in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s bantamweight division. He was born on December 6, 1985, in South Korea and began training in martial arts at a very young age.

Kang started his professional MMA career in 2008 and quickly rose to success; he won seven straight fights before joining the UFC roster in 2013. Since then his record stands at 11-4, with one no contest due to an unintentional illegal knee strike against Guido Cannetti during their fight at UFC Fight Night 33.

Kang has faced some of the top fighters in the bantamweight division including Chad Mendes, John Lineker and Kyoji Horiguchi. He also had an impressive performance against Mark Eddiva that earned him “Performance of The Night” honors for his second round submission win via arm triangle choke which won him $50,000 bonus money from the promotion.

Throughout his career Kang has shown a great deal of heart and tenacity when fighting inside the cage so it comes as no surprise that he is highly respected by both fans and fellow competitors alike. In addition to being a successful fighter Kang is also passionate about teaching martial arts; he regularly holds seminars around South Korea where he shares knowledge about jiu-jitsu techniques and other aspects of MMA competition with students who are eager to learn from him.

Kang continues to train hard for every fight as well as teach new students everyday; this dedication has earned him numerous achievements such as winning two “Fight Of The Night” bonuses along with being awarded “Submission Of The Year” honors for 2016 by Sherdog after submitting Michinori Tanaka via reverse arm triangle choke at UFC Fight Night 97 event held October 15th 2016 in Manila Philippines . His commitment towards achieving excellence not only shows within Octagon but outside too where Kyung Ho Kang serves himself proudly representing South Korean flag on world stage!
