Yizha bio
Personal background
Yizha is a Chinese featherweight who competes in the UFC, born January 8, 1997, in Aba, a Tibetan and Qiang prefecture in northern Sichuan. He came into combat sports through Sanda, the Chinese kickboxing discipline, before turning to mixed martial arts at the renowned Enbo Fight Club, the Chengdu-area gym known for developing fighters from China's rural west. Standing 5'7" with a long 71-inch reach, Yizha paired his striking roots with a fast-developing submission game, and that grappling ultimately became the most dangerous part of his arsenal as he climbed from China's regional circuit toward the global stage.
Path to the UFC
Yizha turned professional in 2015 and built the bulk of his record on the Chinese domestic scene, fighting frequently for the WLF (Wu Lin Feng) promotion and racking up submissions at a remarkable clip. The grind produced a deep, battle-tested resume well into the 20s in pro fights before he ever set foot in the Octagon, and it forged the well-rounded skill set he would carry into the UFC's developmental pipeline.
The Road to UFC run and Octagon debut
Yizha's modern arc begins with adversity: in January 2021 he was stopped by a body kick from Keremuaili Maimaitituoheti at WLF MMA 50. He answered by earning his shot through the UFC's Road to UFC tournament, submitting Keisuke Sasu with a first-round rear-naked choke in June 2022 and then edging Koyomi Matsushima by split decision that October. His Octagon debut in February 2023 was a tough one – a split-decision loss to Jeong Yeong Lee – but the path forward stayed open through continued Road to UFC success.
Inside the UFC
Back in the tournament format, Yizha submitted Kaiwen Li with a first-round armbar in February 2024, showcasing the slick mat work that defines him. The UFC again proved a steeper test: he dropped a unanimous decision to Gabriel Santos in September 2024 before delivering his signature Octagon moment – a first-round knockout of Westin Wilson in August 2025 that reminded everyone of his striking power. Most recently, in January 2026, he came up short on the cards in a majority-decision loss to Kaan Ofli at UFC 325.
Fighting style
Yizha is fundamentally a grappler in striker's clothing. Thirteen of his 26 wins have come by submission, and he is especially dangerous off his back, threatening triangles, armbars and rear-naked chokes even from disadvantageous positions – a trait that makes him hard to control on the mat. His Sanda base gives him real pop on the feet, as the one-punch finish of Westin Wilson showed, and his overall 77% finish rate reflects how aggressively he hunts the ending. The honest counterpoint is that several of his toughest UFC tests have slipped away on the scorecards, suggesting that against elite, well-rounded opponents he can struggle to impose the grappling that makes him most threatening across three full rounds.
Career highlights
- Road to UFC graduate — punched his ticket to the Octagon by winning multiple Road to UFC bouts, including submissions of Keisuke Sasu and Kaiwen Li.
- Submission specialist — 13 of his 26 career wins have come by submission, a grappling-heavy profile built on Enbo Fight Club's developmental system.
- Highlight-reel knockout — flattened Westin Wilson with a first-round KO in 2025, proving his Sanda striking still carries fight-ending power.
