UFC Fight Night 111: Holly Holm vs Bethe Correia, Preview and Predictions

#3 Dong Hyun Kim vs Colby Covington

Dong Hyun Kim is tipped to walk away with the victory in Singapore

Dong Hyun Kim still remains one of the top-15 fighters in the UFC Welterweight division; he only loses to the elite, with the occasional loss to a mid-tier fighter.

On the other hand, Colby Covington is a man who seems to be following the McGregor model of trash-talking in pursuit of big money fights.

Covington is a decent striker, but his bread and butter remain his grappling – a sphere where Kim is no slouch either. I see the grappling being even in this matchup, with the deciding factor being who pushes the pace and controls the striking aspect of the matchup.

As much as I’d like to see the 170-pound division get a new prospect, I see DHK derailing the CC hype train here, that is if it wasn’t already derailed by Warlley Alves at UFC 194.

Prediction: Dong Hyun Kim def. Colby Covington via decision
