Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight veterans Dong Hyun Kim and Tarec Saffiedine dueled last night (Dec. 30, 2016) at UFC 207 inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Despite winning the vast majority of his recent bouts, Kim hasn’t been able to build much momentum towards the title shot. Opposite a tough and proven foe, the South Korean athlete was hoping to take a major step towards that goal. Meanwhile, the former Strikeforce champion had not yet lived up to his potential in UFC. Saffiedine is capable of doing big things, but “Sponge” really needed to record his first signature win inside the Octagon last night.
