Dong-Hyun Kim (Template:Lang-ko) (born November 17, 1981) is a Korean mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter currently fighting in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight division. Kim boasts a record of 12 wins, 1 no contest and 1 controversial draw. He was signed by the UFC after fighting in the Japanese promotion DEEP.

Mixed martial arts career

Kim first began his career fighting in small Korean promotions, but a lack of pay and suitable training conditions caused him to retire in 2005. In New Zealand, Kim began to pursue judo again as a hobby, which led him to return to Korea and reignite his MMA career. Kim began training at Wajyutsu Keisyukai, a renowned Japanese gym frequented by a number of top Japanese fighters. As one of the largest members of the gym, Kim became a regular sparring partner of middleweight Yushin Okami.

Kim gained recognition after signing with the Japanese DEEP organization, earning a succession of victories before knocking out DEEP welterweight champion Hidehiko Hasegawa in a non-title bout in 2007. Kim and Hasegawa later fought to a controversial draw in a title fight at DEEP 32nd Impact, leaving defending champion Hasegawa with the title. Kim departed from DEEP to sign a contract with PRIDE Fighting Championships, but the UFC purchased and dismantled PRIDE before Kim could fight in the organization. Kim's performances attracted the attention of World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) talent scouts, who offered him a contract. However, because the WEC is not televised in Korea, Kim's management pushed for and received a contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), which airs on Korean cable television.

The UFC

Kim made his UFC debut at UFC 84 against Jason Tan, methodically breaking down his opponent and ultimately winning by technical knockout in the third round. With his performance, Kim became the second Korean to enter the octagon since Joe Son's lone loss in 1994 at UFC 4, and the first to win a UFC fight. Kim's appearance drew considerable attention in Korea. One week before the event, a prime time, hour-long special about Kim was aired on Korean television. Though Kim's bout did not air on the UFC pay-per-view, it aired live on Korean television, and was then replayed twice more before the regular event coverage resumed.

His second octagon appearance at UFC 88, as he captured a split decision over The Ultimate Fighter 7 alumnus Matt Brown. Kim threatening Brown with a choke from back control in the first round, but became exhausted in the second round. In the third, Kim used some effective ground-and-pound and cut Brown with an elbow. All three judges scored the bout 29-28, two of them in Kim’s favor. The decision was contested by the partisan American crowd in attendance with noticeable booing. Commentator Joe Rogan announced during the post-fight interviews that he believed Brown had won the fight.

Kim returned to the octagon in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 31, 2009 as he faced off against fellow judo practitioner Karo Parisyan at UFC 94. Kim originally lost to Parisyan via split decision. Fans in attendance booed the decision, and former UFC champions Matt Hughes, Randy Couture and UFC president Dana White have commented that they thought Kim had won the fight. Afterwards, however, Parisyan tested positive for three banned pain killers: Hydrocodone, Hydromorphone and Oxymorphone. The Nevada Athletic Commission declared the match a No Decision, and Parisyan was suspended for nine months.

Kim defeated TJ Grant at UFC 100, winning by a convincing unanimous decision.

Kim is rumored to face Jon Fitch at "UFC 104".
