Dan Hardy and Dong Hyun Kim In Talks To Fight at UFC 105
Welterweights Dan Hardy and Dong Hyun Kim are in talks to fight at UFC 105 on November 14 in Manchester, England, Fighters Only reports, with Kim having verbally accepted the matchup.
Hardy (22-6), who trains out of the Rough House Gym alongside fellow British fighters Paul Daley and Andre Winner, is 3-0 in the UFC with wins over Akihiro Gono, Rory Markham, and, most-recently in June, Marcus Davis.
Kim (12-0-1) is also 3-0 in the UFC, picking up victories over Jason Tan and Matt Brown before suffering a split decision loss to Karo Parisyan in January that was ultimately changed to a no contest after Parisyan tested positive for banned painkillers following the fight. “Stun Gun” last fought in July at UFC 100, defeating TJ Grant by unanimous decision.
UFC 105 is expected to air on tape-delay on Spike TV and will be headlined by a lightweight championship matchup between title-holder BJ Penn and challenger Diego Sanchez.

why was it a no contest for pain killers, but never for steroids???
he didn’t use them Karo did and Stun Gun “lost” that fight, similar to Nick Diaz v Gomi, the outcome was overturned due to the use of a illegal substance (Weed).. Now when Sherk and Franca both used roids it wasn’t overturned for both were on PED’s, and now you know and knowing is half the battle G.I. JOE!!!!!!
105 is starting to look like a pretty decent card, especially for a free on Spike card.
Hardy fighting on a UK card?
Shocker…
i’td be cool if there could be atleast 1 british fighter in each fight, this fight will most likely be a split decision for….hyun kim
I think Hardy has a great chance to catch Kim, but I’m routing for the Judoko in this one.
I am really hoping one day we can see a fight between Hardy and Lytle, I think that would be exciting as hell.
I pretty much agree with all of that.
The UFC should save Hardy-Lytle for when they return to Ireland…
Stun-gun is gonna head his blockknoked for sure
