The UFC's New Years Eve weekend show in Las Vegas, scheduled to be UFC 141, has a new welterweight match-up set between Dong Hyun Kim and Sean Pierson, as announced by the promotion this afternoon:
A welterweight showdown is on tap for December 30th, as South Korea's Dong Hyun Kim returns to the Octagon for what should be an exciting scrap with Canada's Sean Pierson.
"Two talented welterweights on the comeback trail will face off at UFC 141 when Sean Pierson takes on the ‘Stun Gun’ Dong Hyun Kim." said UFC President Dana White.
Kim seemed to be on a fast track to a title shot until those hopes were derailed by a brutal flying knee from Carlos Condit, that eventually led to Condit getting the title shot. That loss was the first of of the South Korean's career. Pierson is a native of Toronto who made the decision to quit his full-time job as a police officer after winning a decision (and a fight of the night bonus) in his UFC debut against Matt Riddle. Pierson may have been questioning that choice after suffering a quick and nasty knockout against Jake Ellenberger in his next fight, but he'll now have another chance to cement his spot among the UFC's 170-lb ranks.
Dong-hyun "Stun Gun" Kim (14-1-1, 1 NC)
Loss Carlos Condit (TKO - flying knee) - UFC 132
Win Nate Diaz (unam. decision) - UFC 125
Win Amir Sadollah (unam. decision) - UFC 114
Sean Pierson (11-5)
Loss Jake Ellenberger (KO) - UFC 129
Win Matt Riddle (unam. decision) - UFC 124
Win Ricky Goodall (TKO - punches) - W1 New Ground
The card for UFC 141, which airs live on pay per view on December 30th, now includes:
-Brock Lesnar vs. Alistair Overeem
-Jon Fitch vs. Johny Hendricks
-Alexander Gustafsson vs. Vladimir Matyushenko
-Dong Hyun Kim vs. Sean Pierson

You really think that the co-main event for the huge NYE show
is going to be a fight between two guys coming off of losses that most casual fans haven’t even heard of?
Where did you even get that from?
Was a joke calm down I am sure they will bump Miguel Torres vs Nick Pace from the 139 prelims to the co-main for 141

It's a battle scene from Naruto. Not sure. A friend made it.

Where does it say it’s the co-main? Like really, what do you base that on? I don’t get it.

No worries, I'm sure it will get bumped up to the main event soon enough.
As soon as Alistair no-shows for a press conference.

Wouldn't it just be xenophobia? Are Koreans considered a race?

Surprised this is on 141 and not 140
Pierson is a former Toronto cop and his story has gotten quite a bit of play in the Toronto media during the lead up to 129.

Guys Kim is a wrestler/Judo guy he should stick to what he knows.
At least he’s not running out their throwing Karate kicks and getting knocked out consistently.
All of the Lay N Pray jokes that sure to follow with the thread.
I omit DHK from the above because he’s an Asian fighter fighting good competition in the UFC. There just ain’t many of those to complain about his fighting style.

Whatever
I enjoy the hell out of watching DHK velcro-grapple the ever loving shit out of people.
Meet me on Monsta Island. Where the girls look good and the MC's be Wildin'.
I actually love Fitch and Stun Gun.
but just like everyone else, I prefer a home run over the walk, stolen base, bunt to third and sac fly.
Because I can

If Pierson loses and gets cut, i'll feel sorry for him.
Ellenberger and DHK back to back… damn!
Pierson will land about 15 strikes out of 275
And win FOTN honors.
He’ll throw 100 in the first round before he gets judo-thrown. 35 more when Stun Gun drags him down and immediately advances to side control, and then get to 275 strikes with the 140 he throws in round 3 when Stun Gun is so gassed he nearly falls over dead.
I respect your opinion even though it's wrong.
Dude, think about what you say sometimes.
You know that Riddle was the one that whiffed on all his strikes and Pierson actually set a record for most significant strikes ever landed in a UFC debut right? He landed 112 significant strikes in that fight and 148 overall, and was almost at 50% accuracy.
