“Stun Gun” Dong Hyun Kim has suffered another injury, taking him out of next month’s UFC 202 event, according to a report from MMAJunkie.com.

The 34-year-old Korean hasn’t fought since November of last year, where he took out Dominic Waters in the first round. He was slated to face Neil Magny, whom the UFC is looking to keep on the August 20 card.

Magny, 28, has picked up ten wins in his last eleven fights, an improbable run of success given his early stumbles in the Octagon. He’s riding a three fight winning streak since his setback loss to top five competitor Demian Maia, including a come from behind TKO over Hector Lombard in March.

UFC 202 hits Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena on August 20, headlined by the welterweight rematch between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz.
