The UFC 185-pound division has just been put on notice now that Zuffa has gone out and acquired undefeated middleweight Dong-Yi Yang.

The South Korean holds a perfect 9-0 record with eight techincal knockout wins and one submission finish. In addition to Japan's Sengoku and DEEP promotions, Yang cut his teeth under the WXF banner in his native South Korea.

"The Hammer" was last seen kicking the crap out of Bill "Kill" Saures at Trench Warz 12: "Battle Brawls" on May 21 in the Northern Mariana Islands.

Yang trains with Korean Top Team (KTT), the same camp responsible for WEC "Zombie" Chan Sung Jung. A date and opponent for Yang's debut has not yet been determined.

Nice some new blood, hopefully he's good

I hope he rocks, LA is right, we need some new blood and I am glad Zuffa is out scouting the world and just not North America.

Not sure how good the guys he was fight are but damn he has a lot of early TKO wins.

Saw his fights against Nastula (Bad stoppage) and Noji. He's short, soft and compact (Could probably go 170) and seems to have pretty heavy hands. Reminds me of a Korean Leben with slightly more speed. He seemed a bit uncomfortable on the ground in both of those fights, so I'm not expecting too much from him against UFC level fighters...

Never heard of him. He's my new favorite fighter.

Don't remember seeing him in WVR, hope he works out.
