Teruto Ishihara confirms he’s facing Kyung Ho Kang at UFC 234

Japanese bantamweight Teruto Ishihara has confirmed he’ll face Kyung Ho Kang in Australia.

Ishihara (10-6-2 MMA, 3-4-1 UFC) today took to Twitter and said he’ll face Kang (14-8 MMA, 3-2 UFC) at UFC 234, which takes place Sunday, Feb. 10, at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. Due to the time change, the card airs in North America on Feb. 9.

Ishihara finds himself in desperate need of a win after going 0-2 in 2018, including a June TKO loss to Petr Yan and a February decision defeat at the hands of Jose Quinonez. Ishihara now stands at 1-4 in his past five UFC appearances after starting his octagon run unbeaten in his first three fights.

Meanwhile, Korea’s Kang looks to rebound from an August loss to Ricardo Ramos. The setback snapped a three-fight winning streak for “Mr. Perfect” that dated back to 2014, prior to Kang taking time off for his mandatory military service in his home nation.

The UFC 234 lineup currently includes:

  • Champ Robert Whittaker vs. Kelvin Gastelum – for middleweight title
  • Israel Adesanya vs. Anderson Silva
  • Wuliji Buren vs. Jonathan Martinez
  • Jim Crute vs. Ryan Spann
  • Kai Kara-France vs. Raulian Paiva
  • Montana De La Rosa vs. Nadia Kassem
  • Austin Arnett vs. Shane Young
  • Teruto Ishihara vs. Kyung Ho Kang
