Actually, Asian fighters don't really fare well and are definitely not an emerging force in the UFC. Ronda Rousey is a one-trick pony who has been badly exposed (and beaten up) in her last 2 fights and Asians are not the best martial artists in the world or the UFC. Anyone who knows anything knows the best fighters fight in the UFC. Better fighters and cards top to bottom and richer purses, I believe.

Some asian fighters have done well in the UFC, notably Chan Sung-Jung (mentioned in the article) and the Korean Zombie, who just returned after doing his mandatory military service.

The Japanese fighters for the most part haven't done that great, though I do remember one challenging for the featherweight belt a couple of years back.
