No one can deny Kim is turning the corner in his career, after finishing both Erick Silva and Hathaway in brutal fashion. Both guys are great fighters, its not like he was fighting the bottom of the division as of recent. I think he can beat most top 10 guys.
1 Johny Hendricks . Once again another wrestler with bombs. Johny would be a heavy favorite and Dong could get KO'd. That would be the toughest fight available for Dong at 170.
2 Carlos Condit . I think Dong has better chance then the first time around, but Condit would probably win. Depends how many rounds, but 3 rounds Dong could grind him out theoretically.
3 Robbie Lawler . Robbie would be throwing bombs, and Dong could get takedowns. Robbie is the favorite and could catch Dong easily with his present defense, Robbie is the favorite, but like the Jake/ Dong fight, its still not impossible for him to win.
4 Rory MacDonald . This would be a great guy, I don't give anyone really a huge advantage. A pickem fight for me.
5 Jake Ellenberger . This is tough fight for Dong, I think Jake is the favorite and will win unless Dong improves his defense. Still not impossible for Dong. He has been the underdog before.
6 Demian Maia . He beats Maia second time around, if Shields and Rory can do it, so can Dong.
7 Jake Shields . I think Dong gets a few punches in and the fight stays on the feet with a lot of time in the Clinch. Not a very eventful fight more then likely.
8 Matt Brown . He beats Brown again easily, even though he has looked great lately, Dong would take him down at will.
9 Tarec Saffiedine . I think Saffiedine is a tough match up for anyone and could coast with leg kicks for a UD, but after the Lim fight, I have questions about Tarec if had to face a more mobile guy.
10 Tyron Woodley . If he survived the 1st round , I'd pick Dong to win a decision.
