The UFC has added some big names to its first card in South Korea.

Mirko Cro Cop will take on Anthony Hamilton, and Jorge Masvidal faces Dong Hyun Kim, at UFC Fight Night: Henderson vs. Alves on Nov. 28 in Seoul, the UFC announced Sunday night during UFC Fight Night: Holloway vs. Oliveira.

Cro Cop (31-11) said on his Facebook that he would be fighting Hamilton earlier this weekend. The Croatia MMA legend has won three straight and is coming off a third-round TKO over Gabriel Gonzaga in his UFC return in April. Hamilton (14-4) is coming off a unanimous decision win over Daniel Omielanczuk in April. He’s 2-2 in the UFC.

Masvidal (29-9) knocked out Cezar Ferreira in his welterweight debut last month. He has won four of his last five and called out Kim following the win over Ferreira. Kim (20-3-1), a South Korea native, has won five of his last six fights and is coming off a third-round submission win over Josh Burkman at UFC 187. His lone career losses have come against Tyron Woodley, Demian Maia and Carlos Condit — all top-10 welterweights.

Also added to the card was a matchup between Asian MMA luminary Yoshihiro Akiyama, a pop culture star in South Korea, and Alberto Mina.

UFC Fight Night 79 will be headlined by a welterweight contender fight between Benson Henderson and Thiago Alves. The card will take place at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena.
