Welterweights are set to do battle on May 29 in Las Vegas at UFC 114 as "Ultimate Fighter" winner Amir Sadollah returns to action to face Korean Judoka Dong Hyun-Kim.
The bout was confirmed to MMAWeekly.com by sources close to the fight, with both fighters verbally agreeing to the tilt. Bout agreements are expected soon.
Sadollah (3-1) faced major adversity following his win on “The Ultimate Fighter," dealing with several injuries that kept him sidelined for more than a year.
In his last two fights, Sadollah has shown his devastating striking diversity, putting on clinics against both Phil Baroni and Brad Blackburn. Now, Sadollah will face a much different style as he takes on an undefeated Judo expert.
Making his UFC debut in 2008, Dong Hyun-Kim (12-0-1) has now won three fights overall in the Octagon. He has one no contest for a fight against Karo Parisyan that Parisyan initially won, but had overturned for testing positive for illegal substances.
Originally, Kim was set to be a part of UFC 110 and face Chris Lytle, but an injury put him on the shelf for a few months and he will now battle Sadollah in May.
The main event for the UFC 114 card will pit former "Ultimate Fighter" coaches Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Rashad Evans against each other in a light heavyweight grudge match.
