Zhu Rong is a young 21-year old prospect that will be making his UFC debut at UFC 261. Rong has a stellar record and lots of KO/TKO finishes including eight in the very first round. Rong also has a few submission finishes on his record including one that he secured late in the fifth round of one of his bouts indicating that he is always looking for a way to finish the fight.

The only ‘question mark’ is if you look through Rong’s previous opponents is that some of them did not have the most impressive records when he fought them. But undoubtedly Zhu has some very good looking kickboxing striking and will be sure to thrill fans in his debut fight on April 24.
