The rest of the card, however, lacks much in the way of compelling fights. Dong Hyun Kim, the most consistently excellent Korean fighter on the world stage, fights late-notice replacement Dominic Waters in the co-main event. Yoshihiro Akiyama, who is Japanese of Korean descent, takes on Alberto Mina
for his first fight in his home country in more than a decade. He was supposed to face Jorge Masvidal, but the late injury to Thiago Alves led to a reshuffling of the card. Instead, he faces Jackson-Winkeljohn product Dominic Waters, who debuted on short notice with a loss to George Sullivan in July.
