Dong Hyun Kim’s European training tour continued at Next Generation MMA in Liverpool, where the Korean MMA legend shared the mats with UFC lightweight star Paddy Pimblett for a memorable StunGun TV collaboration.
Dong Hyun Kim’s European training tour rolled into Liverpool this week as the Korean MMA legend visited Next Generation MMA, home of lightweight star Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett. The session, featured on Kim’s YouTube channel StunGun TV, delivered exactly what fans hoped for: technique, personality, and a rare crossover between two of the sport’s most charismatic figures.
Inside the gym, Pimblett welcomed Kim with the trademark energy that has made him a global fan favorite. The two wasted no time getting on the mats, moving through drills before escalating into a spirited sparring session. Kim’s southpaw timing and long‑range pressure created a fascinating contrast with Pimblett’s fluid grappling transitions and unpredictable striking rhythm.
The session had a friendly but competitive edge, the kind of exchange where both fighters test each other’s reactions, respect each other’s strengths, and enjoy the challenge. After rounds of movement, scrambles, and exchanges, the two sat down for a conversation about training culture, career evolution, and the global growth of MMA.
Kim’s ongoing European tour has already taken him through Iceland and Ireland, but the Liverpool stop stands out for the chemistry between the two athletes. Pimblett’s gym environment, loud, lively, and relentlessly competitive, made for a perfect backdrop to the collaboration.
And for fans following the StunGun TV series, the Liverpool episode is only the beginning.
