Jeong was defeated by Syuri Kondo via split decision (29-28, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Friday in Japan.

ANALYSIS
Jeong is a young fighter and certainly showed her willingness to engage in a war with this performance. The Korean fighter never stopped throwing in the face of heavy pressure applied by Kondo. Jeon was constantly on her back foot, but showed a good ability to catch Kondo when the Japanese fighter rushed in. Her downfall came when she would turn and run to escape the pressure, which never looks good in the eyes of the judges. The upside for Jeong is she is only 20 years old and has a lot of time to grow as a fighter. She looked great against an undefeated opponent tonight and is a fighter to watch in the coming years in the strawweight division.
