Korean Tiger Lee Jung-young (29) will return after overcoming his first TKO defeat in his UFC career.

Lee Jung-young will play a featherweight match against Trevor Peak (30, USA) at the UFC Fight Night: Sandhagan vs Figueredo at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa on May 4 (Korea Standard Time).

Lee Jung-young lost to Haider Amil in July last year for the first time in her life after being punched in the first round.
The defeat was a bitter pill for Lee Jung-young, who was so confident that he declared that he would become the champion after defeating Alexander Volkanovski of Australia when he signed with the UFC.

Lee Jung-young said, "It was hard because I had a mental breakdown for about a month. I'm ashamed, but in the long run, it was a medicine for me."

During the hiatus, I met many experts and learned basic skills. I went to a gym specializing in boxing for the first time to practice boxing. I also conducted physical training in a systematic manner.

Lee will soon leave for Phoenix, Arizona, where he will also conduct training sessions at Fight Ready, a prestigious team. He will be coached by Eddie Cha, who coached Jung Chan-sung, the best fighter in the history of the Korean MMA.

Lee Jung-young said, "Before, there was an insistence on finishing the game with a hit, but now it is not," and vowed, "I will listen to the coach and change it to be smart, strategic, and smart." 온라인바카라

Lee Jung-young's opponent Peak is a fighter who believes in strong durability and power.

Lee Jung-young called Peak a "really hot and tough player" and emphasized, "I'll fight smartly and show that I have an edge in all areas because it's good to go as a decision."

"I want to show that I'm not an excited player like Peak, but a player who knows how to play calmly and calmly," he added. "I'll show you that I've grown one step further."

Meanwhile, the main event of this tournament will feature a showdown between fourth-ranked Corey Sandhagan (32, USA) and fifth-ranked Davison Figueredo (37, Brazil).
