Dan Hardy vs. Dong Hyun-Kim Expected For UFC 105
A rumored welterweight match up between Dan Hardy and Dong Hyun Kim, are in the discussion stages for UFC 105.
According to a recent report from the Fighters Only Magazine official website, the Korean fighter has verbally accepted the match up.
Dan “The Outlaw” Hardy (22-6), is 3-0 in the UFC with wins over Akihiro Gono, Rory Markham, and most-recently, Marcus Davis.
Dong Hyun “Stun Gun” Kim (12-0-1) has put together Octagon victories over Jason Tan and Matt Brown before suffering a split decision loss to Karo Parisyan. A defeat that was then changed to a no contest after Parisyan tested positive for banned painkillers.
UFC 105 is expected to air in November from Manchester England, with a rumored main event headlined by BJ Penn vs. Diego Sanchez, for the lightweight title.

this should be an entertaining bout. this will be a good test for both fighters I’m thinking hardy wins by KO/TKO.
i like Hardy better that bisbing
i really think this guy is going to be a dangerous contender one day
i too have him wining via TKO
Hardy’s legit, no doubt. Hyun-Kim’s got some serious striking too though. This fight is gonna be exciting as all hell
Definitely a good matchup between two good prospects. Hyun-Kim is a good fighter but i think he’s gonna be up against it facing Hardy in England. I’d look for Hardy to take a decision.
I’m thinking the stun gun will pull this one off. I really like both fighters, but I just have a feeling he’ll eke out a decision. Is is just me or does Hardy look like a small welterweight? Looks like he could easily drop to 155. Just a thought.
Kim’s “loss” was barely that…
Nobody thought Pariysan won that lackluster fight….
Yeah, Kim definitely won that fight
“Kim’s “loss” was barely that…

I did.
However, I also thought it was one of the most boring fights Ive ever seen.
Both guys have sick striking and good ground games.. this should be a good one..
This will be a fight of the night candidate for sure and I for one would like to see it go the distance with both guy going non stop ala griffin/bonnar or sanchez/guida.
this is going to great. your right BigDave fight of the night candidate for sure.
going to be great
+1 stoked for this fight
Finally, something everyone can agree on.
im sure there will be some UFC haters on hear soon with nothing good to say about this fight but im with you on this Sergio
Well see if Hardys td defense has gotten any better since the Yoshida fight.
I got Hardy by KO.
Dong Hyun-Kim by Decision all day long.
