WATCH: Dominique Steele knocks out Dong Hyun Kim with vicious body slam
UFC welterweight Dominique Steele has one of the longest, and possibly best, nicknames in all of combat sports. Saturday at UFC Fight Night: Henderson vs. Masvidal, the Ohio native proved that starting the card with "Non-stop, action-packed Dom T. Steele" is always a good decision.
Steele was in control for most of his fight against Dong Hyun Kim, landing 74 percent (84 of 114) of his strikes and all four of his takedown attempts over three rounds. But it was his final takedown that put Kim away.
Early in the third round, Steele scooped Kim off his feet and slammed the South Korean fighter to the canvas with the power only someone nicknamed "Non-stop, action-packed Dom T. Steele" could muster. Kim ate a couple elbows on the ground but chances are he didn't feel them because he appeared to be out immediately after the slam.
