Matt Brown versus Dong Hyun Kim moved to UFC 88 main card

After a last-moment injury forced a bout between Karo Parisyan and Yoshiyuki Yoshida to be canceled, the UFC has elected to move a welterweight contest between "The Ultimate Fighter 7" cast member Matt Brown (7-6 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Dong Hyun Kim (10-0-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) to UFC 88's televised main card.

Joe Rogan, who emceed this afternoon's official weigh-in for tomorrow night's "UFC 88: Breakthrough," mentioned the change during the weigh-ins. The UFC's official website has also notated the switch.

Brown, an Ohio-based fighter who trains in Cincinnati (with Team Jorge Gurgel) and Columbus, was one of the surprises of "TUF: Team Rampage vs. Team Forrest." Brown defeated Josh Hall via TKO in an elimination-round bout, and he followed up that performance with a first-round knockout of Jeremy May in a preliminary-round fight. However, eventual show winner Amir Sadollah defeated him in the quarterfinals in one of the season's better fights.

Although much of the cast was dumped after the show, Brown earned a fight on the undercard of the show's live finale, where he again defeated "TUF 6" cast member Matt Arroyo via second-round TKO (the fighters first met at a November 2006 Real Fighting Championships event).

Kim, a South Korean import, signed with the UFC earlier this year after a two-year stint with DEEP. Kim debuted with with the UFC in May and scored a third-round TKO of Jason Tan. It was Kim's sixth consecutive knockout victory.

Upon his organization debut, the 26-year-old Judo expert was just the second Korean fighter to compete in the UFC.
