Dong Hyun Kim vs. Chris Lytle Set for UFC 110 in Australia
Welterweights Dong Hyun Kim and Chris Lytle will square off at UFC 110 on February 21 in Sydney, Australia, according to MMA Fanhouse.
Kim (12-0-1) began his UFC career in 2008 with back-to-back wins over Jason Tan and Matt Brown, before suffering a split decision loss to Karo Parisyan in January that was later changed to a no contest after Parisyan tested positive for banned painkillers following the fight. “Stun Gun” rebounded with a unanimous decision over TJ Grant in July, and was then set to fight Dan Hardy earlier this month at UFC 105, but withdrew due to an undisclosed injury.
Lytle (27-17-5) has gone 3-3 since returning to the UFC in late-2007, dropping bouts to Thiago Alves, Josh Koscheck, and Marcus Davis, while earning victories over Kyle Bradley, Paul Taylor, and Kevin Burns most-recent in June. “Lights Out” has won a “fight night” bonus in all but one of his last six bouts, including three-straight “Fight of the Night” awards.
UFC 110 has not yet been officially announced, though Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira hopes to fight fellow heavyweight contender Cain Velasquez on the card and Wandelei Silva’s middleweight debut against Yoshihiro Akiyama may also take place at the event.

UFC 110 is starting to have quite the potential stacked card in the works… I like this fight. But then again, I like every Chris Lytle fight. Add the possibilities of Nogueira vs Velasquez and a main event of Hardy vs GSP…. this could be the best card in quite some time.
This will be an interesting fight, I like both fighters, but I really hope that Kim can pull out the win. Call me a turncoat if you want for pulling against the American, but for some reason I like seeing the Koreans do well.
I’m the same way, Justin. I don’t know why, I just always like to see Asian fighters do well. For the most part they seem humble with intelligent fighting styles and a flare for the dramatic (see fighter entrances).
For the first time ever, I may not be 100% cheering for The Axe Murderer when he steps in the cage with Akiyama.
Rumor has it Akiyama vs Silva will be removed from this card with a potential main event title fight between Hardy and GSP. Never know the the way Dana changes #1 contenders like a pair of socks. After Koscheck’s remarks on Saturday, I wouldn’t be surprised to see GSP’s fight pushed back and Hardy vs Kos on for this event.
DW has been adamant that Hardy will be fighting GSP. Hardy already knows when and where he is fighting GSP, but that information hasn’t been made public. I have read from a reputable source that, “GSP/Hardy isn’t going to happen where/when everyone thinks it’s happening.” However, I asked him what that meant and haven’t received a reply, considering some sources have reported that fight to be happening at 109, and others (like here) that it could be at 110.
Almost any Chris Lytle fight is worth the price of a PPV.
When you factor in the rest, this is going to wind up being a decent value IMO…
Nice looking card if the rumours bare fruition, the best in quite some time.
