Jae Woong Kim The Fighting God of Bantamweight
At 32, Jae Woong Kim has carved out a reputation as a tough, methodical presence on Asia’s bantamweight scene. Standing 5'8" and training out of Extreme Combat in South Korea, Kim carries a 15-8 professional record into every camp. Known inside the cage as “The Fighting God,” he’s earned his moniker not through flashy knockouts but by grinding opponents with relentless pressure and a wrestler’s resolve.
Kim currently sits at No. 24 in the Asia Pacific regional MMA rankings and holds spots in both the South Korea and Asia Southeast sub-regional standings. Those rankings reflect where he’s proven himself, having fought at least twice in each region over his last six bouts and competed at bantamweight in two of his most recent fights. As he eyes stiffer competition, Kim’s steady rise underscores a career built on consistency rather than one-off performances.
