Jingliang Li has exceeded even the most optimistic expectations since he joined the Ultimate Fighting Championship roster a little more than eight years ago.
The Sanford MMA rep will toe the line against the surging Muslim Salikhov in a UFC on ABC 3 welterweight feature this Saturday at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. Li has rattled off eight victories across his past 11 assignments. However, he finds himself on the rebound after being choked unconscious by the undefeated Khamzat Chimaev in the first round of their UFC 267 pairing on Oct.
