Kim Dong-hyun (Korean: 김동현, 金東炫; born September 9, 1988), anglicized as Dong Hyun Kim, also known as "The Maestro", is a South Korean mixed martial artist who most recently competed in the UFC's lightweight division.[2] At the turn of 2019, he began to use the ring name[3] Ma Dong-hyun[4] (Hangul: 마동현; anglicized as Dong Hyun Ma; "Ma" as in "Maestro") to better distinguish himself from fellow South Korean mixed martial artist "Stun Gun" Kim Dong-hyun.[3]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Ma began his professional MMA career in March 2007. Over the next eight years, he split his time between his native South Korea and Japan while fighting for promotions such as Spirit FC, Road FC and Deep. During this time he amassed a record of 13 wins, 6 losses and 3 draws.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

In his UFC debut, Ma replaced Hyun Gyu Lim against Dominique Steele on November 28, 2015, at UFC Fight Night: Henderson vs. Masvidal.[5] He lost the fight via knockout due to a slam in the third round.

In his second bout for the promotion, Ma faced Polo Reyes on June 4, 2016, at UFC 199. He lost the back-and-forth fight via knockout in the third round. Despite the loss, Ma was awarded his first Fight of the Night bonus award.[6]

In his third fight for the promotion, Ma faced Brendan O'Reilly on December 3, 2016, at The Ultimate Fighter: Tournament of Champions Finale. Ma won the fight by unanimous decision to earn his first UFC victory.

In his highest profile UFC fight to date, Ma faced Takanori Gomi on September 23, 2017, at UFC Fight Night: Saint Preux vs. Okami. He won the fight via TKO in the first round.[7]

Ma faced Damien Brown on February 11, 2018, at UFC 221.[8] He won the fight by split decision.[9]

Ma faced Devonte Smith on February 10, 2019, at UFC 234.[10] He lost the fight via technical knockout in round one.[11]

Ma faced Scott Holtzman on August 3, 2019, at UFC on ESPN 5.[12] At the weigh-ins, Ma weighed in at 158 lbs, 2 pounds over the lightweight non-title fight limit of 156 lbs. He was fined 20% of his fight purse to Holtzman, and the bout proceeded at catchweight.[13] He lost the fight via TKO due to a doctor stoppage between the second and third round as the swelling on Ma's right eye rendered him unable to continue.[14]

Ma faced Omar Morales on December 21, 2019, at UFC on ESPN+ 23.[15] He lost the fight by unanimous decision.[16]

On March 19, 2020, news revealed that Ma and the UFC had parted ways.[2]
