It's been 10 years since he first stepped onto the UFC stage in 2013, and he's been waving the Korean flag on the UFC stage with a "strong without sound" persona. "Mr. Perfect" Kang Kyung Ho (36). With a record of 8 wins, 3 losses, and 1 no contest in 12 fights, he has firmly established himself as a 'UFC veteran fighter'. As always, he's working hard for another victory. We spoke to Kang as he prepares to step back into the UFC Octagon for the first time in five months to lock fists with John Castañeda (31-USA).
The secret to 'Mr. Perfect's' long run
Mr. Perfect. That's the nickname that precedes Kyung Ho Kang's name. It's an accolade he's earned for his handsome appearance and top-notch skills in both striking and grappling. Fans call him "Mr. Perfect" because of his outstanding skills, good looks, and humble demeanor.
However, Kang Kyung-ho himself shakes his head. While he really likes the nickname, he's quick to point out that he has to work hard to become a better fighter. "I really like the nickname. But I don't think I deserve it because I know I'm not perfect. When I think of all the cool nicknames my fans have given me, it makes me realize that I need to work harder. I will always try and try again to be perfect."
A decade is not a short time. That's why he's been labeled a "veteran" since he debuted in the UFC in 2013, amassing 12 fights to date. When asked about the secret to his long run, Kang had a surprisingly easy answer. "I think it's important to work out consistently and diligently," said the 'Mr. Perfect' UFC veteran, whose answer made our knees buckle.
As always, the basics matter
In fact, it took a lot for Kang to get to where he is today, both in and out of the cage, having fought his first UFC fight in 2013. He had a short hiatus due to his military enlistment, and the coronavirus (COVID-19) made it difficult for him to train properly, but that didn't stop him from fighting. 카지노사이트가이드
"As always," he said, "I never lost my focus, and I emphasized the basics and kept moving forward to get to where I am today. "I think it's really important to take good care of your body. "If you stick to the basics, you can prepare for a good match," he said. "Don't drink alcohol, eat healthy, and always watch out for injuries. Of course, these are the most important things," he emphasized.
Fellow Korean Zombie Chung Chan-sung, born in 1987, recently announced his retirement. He said it was "emotional as a fan" to see his friend retire, and vowed to get stronger physically.

I'm steadily improving my fitness."
