ALATENG HEILI

Representing China, Alateng Heili transitioned to the Ultimate Fighting Championship bantamweight division after sharpening his skills across various Asian organizations, including Road FC. His professional journey began in 2013, eventually leading him to train under the guidance of UFC PI Shanghai and Fight Ready.
