Dong Hyun Kim (no, not that one) a late addition to next week's UFC Fight Night 79

Dominique Steele

Dong Hyun Kim (no, not that Dong Hyun Kim) is a late addition to next week’s UFC Fight Night 79 lineup.

Not to be confused by the UFC welterweight of the same name who, coincidentally, also is scheduled for UFC Fight Night 79, ”Maestro” Dong Hyun Kim (13-6-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has replaced injured Hyun Gyu Lim (13-5-1 MMA, 3-2 UFC) and now meets fellow 170-pounder Dominique Steele (13-6 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at the event, officials today announced.

UFC Fight Night 79 takes place Nov. 28 at Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul, South Korea. The entire card streams on UFC Fight Pass beginning at 4:45 a.m. ET (1:45 a.m. PT).

Kim vs. Steele kicks off the main card.

Kim, a South Korean, has fought for organizations such as Top FC, Deep and Spirit MC since making his pro debut in 2007. He enters the UFC on a 7-1 run that includes seven stoppages, five in the first round. In August, he handed Jung Min Kang (7-6-2) a first-round submission loss.

Steele, a 27-year-old from Ohio, gets a second shot at a first UFC win. After a 7-1 run that included wins over the likes of Ryan Thomas, Dan Hornbuckle and Chuck O’Neil, Steele made his UFC debut earlier this year but suffered a TKO loss to Zak Cummings at UFC on FOX 16.
