Ding Meng

Overview

Ding Meng is a 35-11-0 professional, but the UFC part of that ledger reads 0-2, and both losses went to the scorecards. He fights at welterweight out of Team Oyama and was born in China.

The big record comes from fights across all promotions, not the UFC. The UFC mark is the short one.

Two decisions, no stoppages against him. That is the most useful line in the file.

UFC Career

His first look at a UFC-level stage came on Dana White's Contender Series, where he lost a unanimous decision to Rami Hamed in 2024. That fight sits outside the UFC record.

The UFC debut followed in May 2026 at UFC Fight Night: Song vs Figueiredo, a split decision loss to José Souza. He then dropped a unanimous decision to Cam Nelson in August 2026.

Two UFC fights, two trips to the third round, and he carries a two-fight losing streak into the next one.

Fighting Style

Ding Meng is a striker in the middle of the pack. His output, accuracy and defense all land near the UFC average, so nothing in his striking numbers sets him apart in either direction.

What does stand out is how he handles the grappling side. He rarely shoots for takedowns and rarely hunts submissions, so he is not trying to take fights to the mat. When opponents do shoot, they have a hard time getting him down.

That fits his UFC results. Both of his fights went the distance, and neither opponent was able to finish him.
