Tae Hyun Bang
Supernatural
Falls to Nick Hein in Germany Saturday
Bang lost to Nick Hein via unanimous decision (27-30, 28-30, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Hamburg, Germany.
ANALYSIS
Bang got a bit better after a poor Round 1, but he never did enough to truly threaten Hein and facing the German star in his own backyard, there was no way he was ever going to get a close judge's decision to go in his favor. The overall stats were fairly even, which is something Bang can take some solace in during his flight back to Seoul. The 33-year-old Bang has now alternated wins and losses throughout his UFC career. There isn't much to see here.

Bang will face Nick Hein at UFC Hamburg on Sep. 3.
ANALYSIS
Bang is 2-2 in four UFC bouts, and half of his 18 professional victories have come by knockout. He's not much of a submission artist, so look for the Korean to attempt to land heavy shots early and often.

Bang defeated Leo Kuntz via split decision (29-28, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night 79 on Saturday in Seoul, South Korea.
ANALYSIS
Clouds of suspicion surrounded this match-up, as Bang went from a -165 favorite to a +400 underdog overnight. The motives of the line shifts remain unknown, but Bang fought substantially better than his odds, brawling his way to sloppy decision over Kuntz. Winging bombs while dropping his hands and taking deep breaths, Bang's conditioning and technique will likely impede his progress against higher levels of competition.
