Nobody is going to confuse the Korean fighter for a genuine title contender just yet – it’s too early in his UFC career for that and he hasn’t fought a high-level opponent yet – but he’s definitely a man to watch going into 2020, and given the thin nature of the 205lbs division, one more win could well put him into the proverbial mix.
