Korean Top Team middleweight Dong Yi Yang (9-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will soon make his debut for the UFC.

The world's biggest mixed martial arts promotion today announced that Yang is the newest member of its roster, and an announcement regarding the 27-year-old's debut first fight in the octagon will be announced at a later date.

Yang joins WEC featherweight Chan Sung Jung as Korean Top Team fighters currently under contract with Zuffa, LLC, the parent company for both the UFC and WEC.

Terms of Yang's deal were not disclosed.

The 27-year-old Yang debuted professionally in 2007, and he earned his first three victories during a one-night eight-man tournament. Yang has since racked up additional wins under the DEEP and Sengoku banners.

Yang has yet to notch a signature victory, though he does own a 2007 win over Polish heavyweight and Olympic gold medalist judoka Pawel Nastula. Nevertheless, Yang's nine career wins have all come via stoppage, and eight of those victories have been earned by TKO.

Yang recently returned from a 17-month layoff from competition with a May 21 win over Bill Suares. Yang needed just 67 seconds to register the TKO win.
