Damien Brown vs Dong Hyun Kim

Brown bloodied up in his entertaining bout against Camacho: UFC Fight Night 121

This fight is a clash of two veterans, in Damien Brown and Dong Hyun Kim. Damien Brown is on a two-match losing streak, but in the process, had one of the best matches of 2017, in a split-decision loss against Frank Camacho.

He has since turned into a cult fan favourite, and it is expected for him to be heavily cheered in his home country of Australia for the fight. Against him is Dong Hyun Kim, the 4th degree Judo black-belt who lost his last fight against Colby Covington, but is generally in good form, winning his three fights before that, all in dominating fashion.

Damien Brown is an unorthodox striker and less of a traditionalist, which throws off his opponents regularly. He is not-so-bad at grappling as well, wrestling since he was a teenager. Dong Hyun Kim on the other hand, can do it all, his striking more focused on Judo, and his grappling focused on quick submissions and takedowns.

Who wins is a question of who can go in and control the tempo of the match - who can dictate the pace, to give themselves an advantage against their opponents. Both men are very experienced, so this match will surely be a very technically sound one.
