After 4 fights in the UFC’s strawweight division, Korean slugger Seo Hee Ham has returned to her home country to compete in a more natural weight class.
Since atomweight (105 lbs) isn’t offered in the UFC, the 5-foot-2 fighter was significantly undersized for most of her stint with the promotion. That wasn’t the case this weekend, when the female fighter known as “Hamderlei Silva” headlined Road FC 39.
She faced DEEP Jewels champion Mina Kurobe for the inaugural Road FC atomweight belt, and Ham impressed on her return to the division.
No longer dealing with a huge reach and strength disadvantage, Ham was able to land good combinations on the feet early.
