He's worth every penny considering he's the UFC's weapon for penetrating Korea. Korean TV showed the entire UFC undercard because of the popularity of Kim.

And unlike most of the Asian fighters that have been coming over to the UFC barely cutting weight, Kim looks like he cuts a decent amount of weight for 170. Could be a player. Nasty elbows, too. 45 is right. And unlike most of the Asian fighters that have been coming over to the UFC barely cutting weight, Kim looks like he cuts a decent amount of weight for 170.

I have not been this impressed with a first time UFC fighter since watching GSP in his debut. Not sure if he is a future champion, but he definitely has the potential to be.

It's always intresting when K-1 does special rules matches. Yoshida/Gracie was cool, same thing with LeBanner/Sapp. I would expect CroCop to still face LeBanner at DREAM.5.

Suckers are popping up all over the place, including in regulated states (actually primarily in regulated states, how convenient). The Home Depot Center (27k for soccer, more for concerts or fights certainly) out near LA, Dick's Sporting Goods Park (26k for concerts, so probably similar) near Denver, Pizza Hut Park near Dallas (21k for soccer), Crew Stadium in Columbus (23k for soccer) are all options in the summer that are larger than most arenas but still not WalMart sized like the LA Colosseum. You'll also have new facilities opening up soon in the Bay Area, New Jersey, etc and you have existing venues of similar size in the Chicago area and Toronto when they get on board. You could always bring Cro Cop back for a third fight against Wanderlei. It'd be a catchweight, but I'd think you could probably pull it off in the UK. It'd be a big draw.
