It has always been like pulling teeth to get Doo Ho Choi to fight. Even before he disappeared for 3 years, he would routinely take 12+ months off in between fights.

After Choi's brief splash of flashy knockouts against journeymen on the decline, he settled in to his role as a nail for fighters hanging around the fringes of the top 15.

Algeo has never knocked anybody out in the UFC, so it doesn't make much sense to waste a nail on him. They should have fed Choi to somebody that will viciously KO him to add to their highlight reel.

Buried on a terrible card. He's better than half the fighters slated at sphere

That Jeremy Stephens shot ...yeah really couldve done without that one

Im pretty sure the Jeremy Stephens fight is the one that just destroyed Choi He was degrading up to that point but Stephems cemented stuff

What sn awkward career hes had

Lost all faith in him, Algeo wins a decision.

 

[Deleted member 585708]

Doo Ho Choi hasn't won a fight in 8 years.

Every time he fights it's "the return of" because he fights once every 18 months at best.

The Superboy is now 33.

Dear oh dear, Father Time didn't just catch up to this guy late in his career, he's absolutely obliterated him throughout it!

Jeremy may not be the best fighters, but a loss to him can be career alternating. You can bet your arse he's unloading unnecessary shots on your dome if you go out.

This is UFC's peak attempt at giving freebies.

Kyle Nelson is an absolute can. He's one of the worst fighters of all time who ever fought in UFC.

He was 1-4 in UFC with a win over Polo Reyes before he fought Choi.

He was lamb being led to slaughter on a golden plate for Choi to look good.

Then Choi went full retard and didn't end up winning, and didn't look great in the fight.

What does UFC do next?

You try to give him the guy who lost to that very same Kyle Nelson.

Now to be fair, Algeo is actually a good fighter. But it doesn't change the fact that he is coming off a loss to Nelson of all people, by finish too.

Pretty clear who UFC is rooting for here.

During Choi's run, he looked like a special prospect. Jourdain was also someone that UFC probably threw at Choi to get him back on track, not to mention he was fighting in his home country too, but Jourdain showed up that night.

In comparison, Jean silva is looking beastly, but during Choi's run, he looked as impressive, not to mention he was an undefeated prospect. He was a sniper, whereas Silva hits like a tank. Would've loved to seen that fight.

People think Choi went to the army, but he never did. He got an exemption.

Based on how he looked against Nelson, I'd think he's shot. But maybe he was just rusty.

This would've been a great fight in their primes. But now, it's just UFC trying to get Choi back on track. Tried it with Jourdain, tried it with Nelson, perhaps third time is a charm.

Is Choi the only active fighter on the roster who is currently in the hall of fame?

edit: Nevermind. Aldo/Swanson/Jones/Gustafsson/Guida.

 

[ryun253]

I was high on him, but... like Cody his downfall has been terrible

 

[Still Holdin]

Man what is this? 2018?

 

[NoSmilez]

I like him but he can only fight in a straight line.

Can't miss the Iron turtle. GOAT Korean MMA fighter imo. Would be champ at 170... (Also my opinion).

The card is pretty bad, but those fights featuring the two other Koreans are an exception.
