Dong Hyun Kim tog sig under natten an Erick Silva, vid ”UFC: Fight Night 29” i Brasilien. Inför mötet var Kims sex senaste vinster vunna via domslut, men det kom till att ändras. Matchen varade till tre minuter in i andra ronden, innan Hyun lyckades slå ut Silva.
Efter mötet har Dong fått en del kritik gällande att han skulle hållit sig fast i stängslet på oktagonen, och här kan ni läsa vad Hyun har att säga om det och nattens match mot Silva, via ”MMAJunkie”:
I know Erick has a lot of good strikes, but I believe it was very good luck to have won in the second round like that. I trained a lot of grappling. I know Erick has a lot of good strikes, but I believe it was very good luck to have won in the second round like that.
I don’t remember, but if I had the fence, I apologize.
Erick Silva was very strong. He started very aggressive, and it was a war. I needed to fight against him, or I was going to lose. So I was trying to make Erick lose his strength. But I think it was luck (that I finished the fight by knockout).
I dagsläget har Kim radat upp tre raka segrar, och vem han får möta härnäst återstår att se.
