UFC fighter Song Kenan is all set to represent his country yet again for his fight promotion, the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

This time, he is going to be doing it directly in Shenzhen, China.

Song Kenan is set to take on 'D-Rock' Derrick Krantz at UFC Shenzhen. The UFC Fight Night will be taking place in the Chinese city. This comes directly after his last fight, which was also in China, Beijing. In that MMA fight, Kenan was not successful, and his loss has him fired up to show his home crowd how much more he can give.

Heading into a card where the main card headliner will see Zhang Weili challenge for the UFC Strawweight Championship in her fight against Jessica Andrade, Song certainly has a lot to live up to and he plans to do exactly that.

I was able to catch up with him and ask him a few questions before his fight!

Catch all the action from UFC Shenzhen live exclusively on Ten 2 and Ten 2 HD at 3:30 PM on the 31st of August.
