Kangjie Zhu
The Hypnotist
China
UFC debut on tap
Zhu will take on Marcio Barbosa in a featherweight matchup at UFC Seattle on March 28, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
After an undefeated trio of fights on the Road to the UFC show (all via decision), Zhu will get a chance to make his official UFC debut against another newcomer in Barbosa, who earned his shot via Contender Series. While finishes didn't materialize for Zhu on the show, he's typically more comfortable in the stand-up, with half of his 24 career victories coming by way of KO/TKO. Barbosa also prefers to stand and trade, with only two career submission victories compared to 14 KO/TKO wins.
