Luliang, China, September 19, 2026 — Nepal’s Yuki “The Gurkha” Angdembe defeated China’s Buhuogubu “The Yi Eagle” by unanimous decision at Jue Cheng King (JCK) Fight Night-123 in Luliang on Saturday.

Angdembe and Buhuogubu began the three-round bout, with each round scheduled for five minutes, exchanging kicks and punches.

Angdembe turned to his grappling game in the final minute of the opening round, using his wrestling to take the fight to the ground.

He continued with the same approach early in the second round, keeping Buhuogubu grounded while looking for an opportunity to finish the bout through a knockout or submission.

Buhuogubu, however, appeared prepared for Angdembe’s wrestling-heavy strategy. Although Angdembe connected with several effective punches, the Chinese fighter managed to remain competitive and avoid an early finish.

The fighters began the third and final round by hugging in a show of mutual respect before returning to action.

The final round again featured extended ground exchanges, with Angdembe maintaining the advantage. His Soma Fight Club teammate Zack “Bahadur” Bennett was in his corner throughout the bout, encouraging him between exchanges.

At the end of the fight, all three judges awarded the bout to Angdembe by identical 30-27 scores.

Angdembe celebrated while draped in the Nepali flag and wearing a rudraksha mala. Bennett joined him wearing a waistcoat made from Nepali dhaka fabric.

The victory was Angdembe’s ninth professional win from 12 fights.
