Dong Hyun Kim besegrade under helgen John Hathaway via en välplacerad armbåge, då de möttes vid ”UFC: Fight Night 37” i Macau. Segern var Hyuns fjärde raka i organisationen, och nu börjar han blicka mot en chans på bältet i welterviktsdivisionen.
Här kan ni läsa vad Dong hade att säga, via presskonferensen efter galan:
I’ve continued to stack up the wins, but I wasn’t given the title shot. In order to get the title shot, I knew I would have to change the way that I fight. I got much more aggressive, and hopefully I’ll get noticed and will get a shot at the title.
It doesn’t matter who my opponent is going to be. There is no changing now. I’m going to continue to press on no matter what, and I’m not going to be afraid of losses. I don’t care who the opponent is. When it comes to grappling, I think I’m one of the best. I have no problem going up against Johny Hendricks. I don’t think anyone will be able to take me down. If it’s striking, then whoever gets knocked out will get knocked out, but I will make sure that when I hit somebody, I will knock out.
Vem Kim kommer möte härnäst återstår att se, men med två raka knockoutsegrar så kan vi nog se fram mot en spännande matchning.
