Three Koreans made successful comebacks at Top FC 1 – Original in Seoul on Saturday night. UFC veteran Dongi Yang stopped Jae Young Kim with strikes in the second round of the main event middleweight match-up. Yang was fighting for the first time since his unsuccessful UFC stint and was on the front foot right from the opening bell as Kim continually backed up, using lots of head movement and countering with the occasional low kick or punch. The former UFC fighter looked firmly in control as he landed a head kick that seemed to stun Kim and also executed an early takedown. In the second round, Yang was still stalking his opponent, who eventually got trapped in the corner of the ring and was subjected to a barrage of punches and kicks causing referee John McCarthy to step in and stop the fight. With the win, Yang improved to 10-3, breaking a two-fight losing streak, while Kim dropped to 14-11-0-2 with his second successive loss. He dropped a split decision to Melvin Manhoef at Road FC 9 last September. Also on the comeback trail was Seung Hwa Bang, who has been out of action since 2010, but showed that he is still among Korea’s top lightweights by beating the overmatched Joo Dong Hwan by stoppage due to strikes late in the second round
