A pair of Dong Hyun Kims to compete at UFC Fight Night 79

There will be two welterweights named Dong Hyun Kim plying their trade during the UFC's return to South Korea.

With the more established Dong "Stun Gun" Hyun Kim already slated to face Dominic Waters, another Dong Hyun Kim, nicknamed "Maestro," is set to make his Octagon debut as a late replacement opponent for Dominique Steele (that's right, Dominic and Dominique).

"Maestro" Kim's involvement was necessitated after Steele's original opponent, Hyun Gyu Lim, suffered an injury.

UFC Fight Night 79 takes place on Nov. 28 at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul and features a welterweight showdown between Benson Henderson and Jorge Masvidal in the main event.
