Kyung Ho Kang (18-9) is a longtime UFC bantamweight contender that will be making his 12th walk to the octagon. Kang most recently beaten Danaa Batgerel in a dominant performance and is looking to repeat the same success he had in that fight against Quinonez who will be making only his second walk to the octagon.
Cristian Quinonez (18-3) got a UFC contract after a great performance on the Contender Series but visa issues are what has kept him out for a while before making his debut.
