Can ‘The Korean Superboy’ regain his mojo?
[autotag]Dooho Choi [/autotag] seemed like he was on the fast track to featherweight superstardom with his flying start out of the gates.
Choi (14-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) earned finishes in each of his first three UFC bouts, earning “Performance of the Night” awards in two.
He then lost a thrilling battle against Cub Swanson at UFC 206. No one was really going to hold that against him, as he was one half of a bout many considered 2016’s Fight of the Year.
Then he went out and lost to Jeremy Stephens. And while that one was also exciting and earned “Fight of the Night,” the second-round TKO loss seemed like a case of potential fighter regression.
Now, “Superboy” gets a shot at righting the ship on his home territory, where he’ll meet Charles Jourdain. Jourdain (9-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) is doubtlessly a tough competitor, but this should be exactly what Choi needs to get back on track.
