Korea has been a hotbed for MMA talent for a while now. Its strong judo system rapidly produces solid fighters and that has seen the tiny nation represented in every major MMA promotion of note. For whatever reason, though, the UFC hasn't actively looked to establish a place in the tiny nation until now.
Fight Night 79 features most of the UFC's Korean roster, and also includes interesting fighters of Korean descent. The main card is as follows:
- Benson Henderson vs. Jorge Masvidal
- Dong-Hyun Kim vs. Dominic Waters
- Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Alberto Mina
- Doo-Ho Choi vs. Sam Sicilia
That's an interesting blend of new and old talent that could easily provide some blockbuster fights. But who is going to win, you ask? Find out who the Bleacher Report prediction panel is picking!
