From the UB Cage to the World Stage: Ultimate Beatdown's Notable Fighters
Ultimate Beatdown · 2026年3月11日
A grassroots promotion proves its worth by the fighters it produces and the talent it develops. Over 16 years, Ultimate Beatdown — and its founder's gym — has been an early proving ground for Malaysian fighters who went on to the sport's biggest stages.
Trestle Tan — from UB to ONE Championship
Trestle "Jun Minion" Tan won multiple times at Ultimate Beatdown, building the record and reputation that earned him a contract with ONE Championship, Asia's largest martial arts organisation. Known for his showmanship as much as his finishes, he is one of UB's most recognisable alumni.
Jihin Radzuan — coached to ONE Championship
Jihin "Shadow Cat" Radzuan came up under UB founder and head coach Melvin Yeoh, who developed her from prospect into one of Malaysia's leading atomweights. She debuted in ONE Championship in 2018 — a homegrown success story straight out of the UB ecosystem.
Yadwinder Singh — from UB to WSOF
Yadwinder Singh took his experience from the Ultimate Beatdown cage all the way to WSOF (World Series of Fighting), competing on the international stage.
Prakas "Hurricane Kick" Hari Eds — a UB Champion
Crowned a UB Champion, Prakas "Hurricane Kick" Hari Eds is exactly the kind of homegrown talent the promotion is built to develop — a fighter made and crowned on the UB stage.
The wider circle
Ultimate Beatdown sits at the centre of a Malaysian MMA scene that has produced genuine international names — including ONE Championship star Agilan "The Alligator" Thani, who has shared the global cage with UB alumni like Trestle Tan.
Why UB produces and attracts talent
It isn't luck. A promotion that runs consistently for 16 years, with proper matchmaking, qualified officials, and 60+ events of real experience, gives fighters something rare: a place to compete again and again, build a record, and grow. As a ONE FC Network partner, UB sits connected to the pathways that take fighters higher. (Read more about how UB keeps fighters safe.)
