Jeong Yeong “The Korean Tiger” Lee is a South Korean featherweight known for his precision striking, fast finishes, and a dominant run through Asia’s regional scene before entering the UFC. Born November 13, 1995, Lee fights out of Daegu, South Korea, representing Ssen Gym.
Lee built his reputation in Road FC, where he produced highlight‑reel stoppages — including a 10‑second KO of Ha Jin Park — and showcased a dangerous blend of clean boxing and opportunistic submissions. His breakout came during the Road to UFC tournament, where he scored a 42‑second KO of Kai Lu and a 36‑second armbar over Bin Xie, earning his UFC contract.
Inside the UFC, Lee has demonstrated both durability and technical maturity, earning wins over Yi Zha (split decision) and Blake Bilder (unanimous decision). His UFC record includes competitive bouts against top prospects, including a unanimous‑decision loss to Daniel Santos in 2025.
