Overview
Jung Min Park is a South Korean professional mixed martial artist representing Team MAD Kyungsung University in Busan.
Competing primarily between the welterweight and middleweight divisions, Jung Min Park has developed into one of Korea’s more well-rounded regional prospects thanks to his aggressive finishing instincts and evolving all-around game. Since turning professional in 2021, he has accumulated victories by knockout, submission, and decision, demonstrating the versatility that has made him a dangerous matchup throughout the Korean regional circuit. His professional record includes notable appearances for promotions such as Double G FC, Top Fighting Championship, AFC, and Black Combat.
Early Life & Background
Born in South Korea and fighting out of Busan, Jung Min Park came through the country’s competitive regional MMA scene before making his professional debut in 2021. While little public information has been released regarding his childhood or amateur background, his rapid progression after joining Team MAD reflects the strong wrestling, grappling, and striking development for which the Busan-based gym has become known. Training alongside experienced professionals helped accelerate his growth into a complete mixed martial artist capable of competing in multiple weight classes.
Fighting Style
Jung Min Park is an aggressive pressure fighter who constantly looks for opportunities to finish opponents rather than simply outpoint them.
His offensive style blends heavy boxing combinations with effective top control once the fight reaches the ground. Park has shown a particularly dangerous guillotine choke, earning multiple first-round submission victories with the technique early in his career. When striking, he prefers to force exchanges, overwhelm opponents with pressure, and capitalize on openings with powerful ground-and-pound after securing dominant positions.
His finishing statistics illustrate his balanced attack:
- 3 wins by knockout/TKO
- 3 wins by submission
- 1 win by decision
The willingness to attack both on the feet and on the mat makes him difficult to prepare for, particularly against opponents expecting only one dimension of offense.
Professional Career
Jung Min Park made an immediate impression after turning professional in 2021.
He opened his career with four consecutive finishes, submitting Si Yu Kim and Kyung Min Cho before earning stoppage victories over Dong Gun Kim and In Jae Lee. Those performances quickly established him as one of Double G FC’s rising prospects.
Later that year he earned a split-decision victory over Jong Hwan Lee before receiving an opportunity to compete for the vacant Double G FC Welterweight Championship against Yun Jae Jung. Although he fell short via unanimous decision, the title fight provided valuable experience against elite domestic competition.
After suffering another decision loss to Mongolia’s Burenzorig Batmunkh in 2022, Park stepped away from competition for an extended period before returning in impressive fashion.
Jung Min Park’s comeback came at AFC 37 x HEAT 56, where he stopped Zhenjie Zhong with second-round ground strikes, reminding observers of his finishing ability. He continued that momentum with a victory over Khusan Urakov at BnD Black Cup: Omega Korea vs Eurasia, extending his winning streak after returning from inactivity.
Career Highlights
- Professional record of 8-2 (FightMatrix) with seven documented victories before his most recent Black Combat appearance.
- Competed for the Double G FC Welterweight Championship in 2022.
- Multiple first-round submission victories by guillotine choke.
- Owns victories by knockout, submission, and decision, showcasing a complete MMA skill set.

Summary & Trajectory
Jung Min Park has quietly developed into one of South Korea’s most intriguing middleweight and welterweight prospects. His career has featured explosive finishes, valuable learning experiences against high-level domestic opponents, and an impressive comeback after a lengthy layoff.
While consistency against elite regional competition remains the next hurdle, Park possesses the physical tools, finishing ability, and well-rounded skill set necessary to continue climbing Korea’s increasingly competitive MMA landscape. If he continues building momentum through promotions such as AFC and Black Combat, he could emerge as a legitimate contender for future regional championships.
Jung Min Park embodies the modern Korean regional prospect—athletic, aggressive, and capable of ending a fight anywhere. Rather than relying solely on power or grappling, he has shown genuine versatility, with nearly equal numbers of knockout and submission victories. That balance makes him difficult to scout and dangerous throughout all phases of a fight.
His biggest challenge moving forward will be maintaining activity and proving he can consistently defeat top-tier regional opposition. The losses to experienced veterans exposed areas where greater patience and tactical decision-making are still developing, but his successful return after a long absence suggests meaningful growth.
At just a handful of professional bouts into his career, Park still has significant upside. Training out of Team MAD, one of Korea's premier MMA gyms, provides an ideal environment for continued development. If he continues refining his striking defense and cage management while preserving his aggressive finishing mentality, Jung Min Park has the potential to establish himself among South Korea's leading domestic middleweights over the coming years.
