Tarec Saffiedine to Meet Replacement Foe Dong Hyun Kim at UFC 207

Tarec Saffiedine will remain on the UFC 207 card and face Dong Hyun Kim in a welterweight matchup.

Saffiedine was originally slated to face Matt Brown at the Dec. 30 event, but “The Immortal” was moved to a matchup with Donald Cerrone at UFC 206. The Las Vegas Review-Journal first reported the new matchup. UFC 207 takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and is headlined by a bantamweight championship tilt between Amanda Nunes and Ronda Rousey.

Saffiedine last appeared at UFC Fight Night 88, where he dropped a unanimous verdict against Rick Story on May 29.
