Baergeng Jieleyisi bio
Personal background
Baergeng Jieleyisi is a Chinese bantamweight prospect from Xinjiang, in the country's far northwest, born on November 24, 1995. He came up through China's domestic fight scene and trains out of Wanshi Fight Gym, developing into one of the more accomplished grapplers to emerge from the region. Standing 5'9" with a 70-inch reach for the 135-pound division, he built his reputation on a relentless submission game, finishing the majority of his wins on the mat rather than relying on his striking.
Path to the UFC
Jieleyisi turned professional in 2017 and cut his teeth on China's busy regional circuit, fighting frequently for promotions such as WLF W.A.R.S. and stacking up submission victories against domestic and imported competition. The early going was a true grind – he traded wins and losses while learning his craft – but from 2018 onward he settled into a long run of form, repeatedly closing the show with rear-naked chokes, triangles and armbars. That consistency earned him a place in the UFC's developmental tournament, Road to UFC.
Road to UFC run
Jieleyisi's Road to UFC campaign showcased exactly the grappling-heavy game that defined his regional career. He advanced through the bantamweight bracket with a second-round technical submission of Yunfeng Li and a unanimous-decision win over the experienced Tokitaka Nakanishi, booking his spot in the tournament final. There, in November 2024 at UFC Macau, he ran into South Korea's Su Young You, who out-worked him over three rounds for a clear unanimous decision to win the tournament. It was a bitter end to an otherwise impressive run, but it put Jieleyisi on the sport's biggest radar.
Fighting style
Jieleyisi is a submission specialist first and foremost. Ten of his 18 wins have come by submission, with a 78% finish rate that underlines how aggressively he hunts for the finish once a fight hits the canvas. His chaining of rear-naked chokes, triangles and armbars makes him dangerous from top position and off his back alike, and he mixes in enough power to have scored knockouts when the opening appears. His losses point to the next step in his development: he has been out-pointed by sharper, higher-level competition, and tightening his striking and decision-round output will be key as he tries to translate his regional dominance to the elite level.
Career highlights
- Road to UFC finalist — battled to the bantamweight tournament final, reaching the doorstep of a UFC contract.
- Submission machine — finished 10 of his wins by submission, building an 18-win record on the strength of an elite ground game.
- Regional standout from Xinjiang — emerged from China's domestic circuit as one of its most polished grapplers at 135 pounds.
