Rei Tsuruya Doing What He Loves

Undefeated Road To UFC Winner Thrilled To Be Making Debut Saturday At UFC 303

It doesn’t get any bigger for a young fighter (or any fighter, for that matter), than making their proper UFC debut in front of a packed house at T-Mobile Arena on International Fight Week. Add in that the walk is in Las Vegas, halfway around the world from your home, and the pressure has to be immense.

Rei Tsuruya is taking it in stride.

“I'll be very, very excited,” the Road to UFC winner said when asked what he thinks the emotions will be like on Saturday when he meets Carlos Hernandez.
