Wuliji Buren ((Chinese: 乌力吉布仁; pinyin: Weliji Buren born March 1, 1990) is an Chinese mixed martial artist who competed in the Bantamweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Background

Starting out as a Shuai jiao, wrestler, Wuliji Buren competed in the China National Shuai jiao Tournament, where he took third place. After watching UFC for years, in 2013 he retired from the wrestling team and made the decision to do MMA.[1]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

In the beginning of his mixed martial arts career, Wuliji fought primarily in Chinese regional scene. After racking up a record of 9–4, he fought for the Chin Woo Men MMA Professional League Featherweight Championship, which he won in the finals with a submission win over Ye Yuan.[2]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

In his UFC debut, Wuliji Buren faced Rolando Dy in UFC Fight Night: Bisping vs. Gastelum on November 25, 2017.[3][4] At the weigh-ins, Dy weighed in at 148 lbs., two pounds over the featherweight limit. As a result, he forfeited 20% of his purse to Buren and the bout was fought at a catchweight.[5] Wuliji lost the fight by unanimous decision.[6]

Wuliji faced Marlon Vera on August 8, 2018 at UFC 227.[7] He lost the fight via TKO in the second round.[8]

His next fight came on February 9, 2019 at UFC 234 against Jonathan Martinez.[9] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[10]

After his third straight loss and inactivity of almost a year, Wuliji Buren was released from the UFC in January 2020.

Post-UFC

After his release from the UFC, Buren returned to the Wu Lin Feng promotion, and won his first fight back at WLF W.A.R.S. 41 against Nikolay Kondratuk via guillotine choke in the second round.[11]
