An exciting welterweight match up between TUF 7 winner Amir Sadollah and undefeated fighter Dong Hyun “Stun Gun” Kim (12-0-1-1) has been agreed upon for UFC 114 on May 29 in Las Vegas, Nevada. MMA Weekly has the report.
Amir Sadollah vs Dong Hyun Kim Set For UFC 114
Welterweights are set to do battle on May 29 in Las Vegas at UFC 114 as “Ultimate Fighter” winner Amir Sadollah returns to action to face Korean Judoka Dong Hyun-Kim.
The bout was confirmed to MMAWeekly.com by sources close to the fight, with both fighters verbally agreeing to the tilt. Bout agreements are expected soon.
Sadollah (3-1) has gone 2-1 in the UFC since winning TUF with back-to-back victories over Phil Baroni at UFC 106 and Brad Blackburn at UFC Fight Night 20. He seems to have stepped his game up to another level since the brutal defeat he suffered at the hands of Johny Hendricks at UFC 101.
However, “Stun Gun” figures to be his toughest test to date.
Undefeated so far in his UFC and MMA career, judoka Dong Hyun Kim was last seen in action at UFC 100 where he defeated TJ Grant via unanimous decision. Prior to that bout, Kim faced fellow judo ace Karo Parisyan at UFC 94. Though he lost a close split decision, the fight was later ruled a no contest as Parisyan tested positive for banned substances following the bout.
UFC 114 is expected to be headlined by the highly anticipated grudge match between TUF 10 coaches “Suga” Rashad Evans and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. Also likely to be on the card is an interesting light heavyweight fight featuring Forrest Griffin and Antonio Rogerio Noguiera.
