It's time to put Dong hyun Kim in a big show. Call it a bandwagon or whatever. The dude deserves it. He's never lost anything from a BJJ match to an MMA match. He's 9-0 not counting numerous amateur victories. He doesn't beat people, he destroys them.

Korakuen Hall, Tokyo – Tonight a new women’s lightweight champ was crowned while another champion was soundly defeated in a non-title match. It was an action packed night full of armbars, knockouts, and TKOs at DEEP 31st Impact.
In the main event, the still undefeated Dong-hyun Kim showed the fans why he possesses an unblemished record. Not only has Kim defeated all of his Japanese opponents, but has done so without any injury to speak of. His weakness has yet to be exposed.
The match began with Hasegawa charging in for the takedown, but due to Kim’s superior strength and reach, Kim ended up with the takedown instead. He stood while Hasegawa held his leg attempting a leg lock, but Kim delivered a barrage of strikes to break the hold.
Round two saw Hasegawa attempt another takedown that Kim defended with powerful strikes, forcing Hasegawa to pull guard. Kim utilized his long legs to stomp into open guard position and deliver some powerful pounding.
Round three began with the champ visibly tired and attempting yet another takedown. Hasegawa failed again and was forced to pull guard. This time Kim stood and delivered a soccer kick that instantly drew blood from the champion. Hasegawa showed the heart of a true champion and stood to fight once more, but Kim set up a shot with strikes, passed guard, and eventually caught Hasegawa’s back. Kim delivered the final blows from back mount, ending the match with Hasegawa broken and barely conscious.
The two will likely rematch in October for much deserved title fight.
