ティエカン ジャンThoughts on opponent, Danny Downes? I have seen some of Danny Downes’ videos. He is young, but he is a solid fighter. He never hesitates to move forward and isn’t afraid to crash into another fighter. I like that style as I am in some ways the same. I think my experience in Chinese Sanda is definitely going to be beneficial for me as I will be bringing strikes and movements he will probably not be accustomed to, and hopefully that will give me an advantage. I am also comfortable on the ground and will use this mixture to win this fight.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training Sanda at 1999, because I always like new challenges and to conquer. It's exciting. What ranks and titles have you held? URCC middleweight champion, UMAC welterweight champion, Legend FC "Submission of the Night" honor, Undefeated. Do you have any heroes? Genghis Khan What is your favorite technique? Punches Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Yes, Xi'an Sports University, Sports Education. What was your job before you started fighting? Sanda fighter before MMA. I have been a competitor since I was a kid.
