Microphone or martini? I'll take the martini.

On the day when Gals Guide to MMA launched their new feature "What Would Amir Do?" the TUF season seven winner has a new opponent.

According to MMA Weekly Amir Sadollah (3-1) will fight Dong Hyun Kim (12-0-1) at UFC 114.

This marks a serious step up in competition for Sadollah, who has only fought three times at 170lbs and four times professionally. Previously, Sadollah lost to former WEC welterweight, Johny Hendricks, before rebounding with back-to-back victories over Phil Baroni and Brad Blackburn.

Kim, a South Korean native, is 3-0-1 in the UFC. Most fans know him as the fighter who lost a close decision to Karo Parisyan at UFC 94. But the Nevada State Athletic Commission overturned that ruling when Parisyan tested positive for painkillers.

The battle between Kim and Sadollah is a clash of styles as Kim is a 4th degree black belt in judo while Sadollah is a black belt in sambo. Basically, its the fallout of Russo-Japanese War.

UFC 114 is scheduled for May 29th in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I know DHK

as the dude who was robbed in a close decision against Karo, and also was subjected to a seriously bullshit interview from Joe Rogan, who wrongly told the crowd that he should have lost against Matt Brown.
