For the second consecutive UFC event, Dong Hyun Kim’s performance stole the show as the “Stun Gun” recorded one of the most spectacular knockouts ever seen inside the octagon. Facing John Hathaway (17-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) in the TUF China Finale’s main event, Kim (19-2-1 MMA, 10-2 UFC) had the daunting task of trying to upstage his brutal finish of Erick Silva in his previous UFC appearance. But the Korean welterweight did just that with a third-round spinning back elbow that finished Hathaway in the UFC Fight Pass-streamed event at The Venetian Macao’s CotaiArena in Macau. The victory marked Kim’s fourth in a row under the UFC banner and further elevated his stock as a legitimate contender in the 170-pound weight class. To see what fighters, media members and others throughout the MMA community thought about Kim’s victory in his first-ever UFC main event, check out these Twitter reactions below. * * * * Main event time!
