UFC fighter

“Please look at my body rather than the tattoos.” Lim Hyun-gyu, who joined the Ultimate Fighting Championship, looks sturdy and immaculate in physique. He stands 187 centimeters tall with muscular wide shoulders, an upper body with the shape of an inverted triangle, and a six-pack belly. But his tattoo under his belly button has grabbed more attention than his body. He teamed up with his close friend Yang Dong-i, nicknamed “Bull,” to inscribe matching tattoos reading “MACHO” on their bellies the same day.
