Reported prose from our newsroom. Wrestle-grinder

Seokhyeon Ko meets debuting Jean Paul Lebosnoyani on a 2-0 UFC record. The South Korean welterweight has won both of his Octagon appearances by unanimous decision, over Phil Rowe in November 2025 and Oban Elliott in June 2025. Those results have him building quiet momentum in a crowded division. Ko favors a measured, decision-oriented approach, grinding out rounds with volume and positioning rather than chasing early finishes. A third straight win, this time over a debutant, would keep his unbeaten UFC run intact and strengthen his case for tougher assignments. He carries the experience edge into the matchup with Lebosnoyani. Ko fights on the Oklahoma City preliminary card, one win from a 3-0 start to his promotional career.
