Dong Hyun Kim - "Siyar Bahadurzada not really that good, I plan to knock him out."

[Hufusopem]

Looks like Kim has been hearing all of Siyar's trash talk and is talking back a bit, or he genuinely thinks Siyars not that good.
--------------

What do you think of your opponent, Siyar Bahadurzada?

I am not really too worried about Siyar Bahadurzada. I trained really hard for this fight and I believe it will be enough to achieve victory. I am not thinking about going to a decision, I plan on knocking him out.

What do you think about the UFC’s expansion in Asia?

I can’t forget the cheers I got in Macau when I started ground and pounding Paulo Thiago. This is something only a MMA fighter can experience. I can show my fullest potential in Asia because there is no jetlag. I really hope the UFC will open up an event in South Korea.

Any last words?

The UFC has something that other organizations don’t have. I believe the UFC is where a fighter truly feels nervous. This is also why “mind control” is so important. I will try my hardest to show the fans the true Dong Hyun Kim. My opponent is a UFC fighter but he is not really that good, so I believe as long as I am confident I will be victorious.

Way too soon to feed Siyar to Kim at this stage imo.

i thought so too but Siyar actually has a huge fan base and niche and is a much bigger name than most people think.

 

[Noob]

I like both guys but i honestly think DHK is way too much for Siyar at this point

 

[Andre Xiong]

I like the Kim and he will win but let's be real: via blanket. The most excitement we will see is 1 or 2 judo trips as Siyar attemps to try out his judo defense and engage in the clinch.

I mean his fighting ability.

 

[rl4090526]

This will go like Sadollah fight

 

[londonzizou93]

Siyar will tko stungun

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

He may TKO him on the ground but I see him just grappling and ground-and-pounding his way to a dominant decision.

 

[MestizoIV]

Kim said the same shit about Condit & he got highlight reel KO'd in the 1st. Underestimating ur opponent is probaly the dumbest & most ignorant thing u can do (ask Overeem). And Kim could only beat Siyar with a 3 rnd grapplefest like he did to Paulo, he doesnt have 1 punch KO power.

kim is way too good of a grappler for siyar im a fan of both as well. i don't like this match up very much because either kim gets ko'd or siyar is set back by a guy he should not be fighting anyways at this point in his career.

 

[Fahrenheit1221]

I anticipate a brutal Siyar Bahadurzada knockout.

 

[Hufusopem]

I mean his fighting ability.

Sorry, that I agree with. His biggest weakness is that hes flat footed easy for guys like Kim to just shoot on him.

 

[JohnnyKnockout]

Yeah he might KO him but he'll probably lay on him for 15.

 

[Denter]

Way too soon to feed Siyar to Kim at this stage imo.

Absolutely.

Should have given Siyar someone lower down on the WW ladder.

 

[pete_crimson]

Yeah he might KO him but he'll probably lay on him for 15.

this. Kim finished one fight in the UFC to date.. the only times other than that its been a decision or him getting KTFO or injured. I highly doubt he will get the KO.

 

[Soufian]

I'm rooting for Bahadurzada to win.
That being said, NO WAY IN HELL Kim knocks out Siyar. The only guy he managed to finish in the UFC is Jason Tan, he's getting in way over his head with this one.
I think this will be a dominant decision for Kim but I'm hoping for a KO from Siyar.

 

[TheMan123]

DHK by LNP. There is no doubt. He will not stand and trade at all. I hate it when decision fighters talk about knocking guys out and then don't even try a single time to get a KO. We'll see.

 

[christianD]

im takin siyar by KTFO in this one

 

[Fork]

would be nice to see a KO, but he shouldn't worry too hard about it. his dominating grappling is great, and there's no need to try for anything else.
