Doo Ho Choi isn't happy with the featherweight rankings.

[JeJetheCat]

Doo Ho Choi couldn’t make it to the top 15 featherweight fighters even though he crushed Thiago Tavares with a precisely placed shot, earning his third straight win inside the Octagon. He said he had expected to be at the eleventh or twelfth spot in the rankings. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find his name on the list.


Doo Ho Choi thinks that the most formidable opponent is not Jose Aldo, Conor McGregor, Frankie Edgar, Max Holloway, or Chad Mendes but “English”. When asked about having interviews in English from now on for promoting himself to the MMA fans and the UFC management, he replied, “For me, speaking English is more difficult than becoming a champion.”


My question:
What is his proper spot in the featherweight rankings? I want to hear from you guys on this.

He should be 15-14th

Rankings don't even matter so don't sweat it Choi.

Isn't Hendo like #13?

Also, he needs to be more active. 3 fights since 2014 aint a great pace

 

[Mochan]

Doohickey isn't in the rankings because the journalists who vote and make the rankings couldn't spell his name when they sent in the ballots.

Comes with being an Asian fighter.

Don't worry, rankings don't really mean anything Choi.

He's fought 371, 120, and 17...tell me again d'oh hoe choi why you should be in the top 15? Beat someone decent first!

 

[Breaking]

 

[Broad Blade]

He should be ranked anywhere from #13 to #15.

 

[Th3Sav4ge]

title shot screw top 15

 

[MiroHa]

Also, he needs to be more active. 3 fights since 2014 aint a great pace

He had to pull out of two fights. I'm sure he wants to be more active.

 

[Bangerous]

P4P No1

 

[YellowBaneno]

I love Doo hoo .. but He should at least fight anyone in top 10 to say something like that

 

[HAWTRIDDUM]

14 or 15 spot

 

[JeJetheCat]

He keeps saying, "Let me fight with Cub Swanson". I don't know why Choi is so obsessed with Swanson but hope the UFC management will give him an opportunity.

 

[MirRocksFedor]

Frankie would be a great fight for both. Big chance for Doo and great bounce back for Frankie.

Frankie would be a great fight for both. Big chance for Doo and great bounce back for Frankie.

Even Choi's fans in Korea think that Frankie is too much for him just now. Do you hate Choi this much?

 

[VuvuzelaBzz]

It's not like the media's rankings matter; as long as Shelby matches him up with higher ranked guys, it doesn't matter whether he is ranked at 11 or not ranked at all by the media.

 

[I see stiffness]

14 or 15 spot

How when he hasn't beaten anyone above 17? Makes no sense.

 

[MestizoIV]

#15 for now. There is no reason Mirsad Bektic should be ranked ahead of him.

 

[TKZOMBIE]

He keeps saying, "Let me fight with Cub Swanson". I don't know why Choi is so obsessed with Swanson but hope the UFC management will give him an opportunity.

He wanted Kawajiri first, to let him know who the best fighter active in Asia is.
But Kawajiri ducked him HARD. So, he is instead shouting for Cub to find out who the best boxer in the division is.
