Xiao Long
Career overview
Xiao Long is a Chinese bantamweight with a 27-11-0 professional record, no current ranking, and an orthodox stance. He profiles primarily as a volume striker, landing 5.06 significant strikes per minute while averaging only 0.74 takedowns per 15 minutes.
His 47% striking accuracy supports an active, offense-first approach, although he absorbs 3.85 significant strikes per minute and has a 50% striking defense, leaving him available for counters during extended exchanges. Long’s grappling is used selectively rather than as the foundation of his game: he completes 27% of his takedown attempts, posts a strong 82% takedown defense rate, and averages no submissions.
His recent results show competitive durability but uneven consistency against varied opposition. In November 2024, he stopped Quang Le by third-round KO/TKO, providing the clearest example of his finishing ability.
He then lost a unanimous decision to SuYoung You in August 2025. In March 2026, Long went the full three rounds with former UFC bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt but dropped another unanimous decision.
Earlier wins over Shohei Nose and Shuya Kamikubo also came by decision, reinforcing his ability to maintain output across three rounds. With no next opponent announced, Long remains an unranked bantamweight seeking greater consistency.
