Lol this guy was underrating Cub so hard and was full of himself. Got owned.

Do Ho Choi, Oct 31:

"Considering his position, he should feel less comfortable about this matchup, because it's me of all fighters.

This fight against me will irritate him a lot. Now he has to fight with [low-rank] fighters, and he unfortunately picked the most difficult opponent he could in this group.
He had a three-fight winning streak of knockouts in 2012. Since then, you can see in his recent fights that he no longer has that killer instinct.
Against Hacran Dias and Tatsuya Kawajiri, he only managed to win by close decisions. If it were me, I would have knocked them out.
If he watches my recent fights, he would notice who the real 'killer' here is. I would say Swanson is more of a 'veteran' than a 'killer' these days.
Just like he said, I also expect him to be aggressive and try and finish the fight. He's more than welcome to try do that. My aim always is to finish my opponent, and I will enjoy going head-to-head. Let's see who is going to be the last man standing in the Octagon."

Choi should probably avoid his ronda esque "ill block punches with my face" technique
 
Meh, he fought in a way that leads me to think he believed every word.

And right or wrong that mentality is crucial to any sustained progress.

Losing to Cub might have taken a few years off his career but he definitely will benefit from that humble pie.

We won't know until his next fight. The Cub fight might have ruined him for all we know
 
Cub did Street Fighter II shit on him and I think Choi was too cocky going into that fight, but I'm glad Cubby took it 'cause it looked like it reignited that fire in him. What a brilliant performance that was though, I would like to see Cub avenge his loss to Holloway next.

It was one of the best fights of the year against a highly skilled and ranked opponent. He wan't exposed or anything and I don't think any less of him. This is far from 'shutting down' and I don't recall him being much of a hypetrain (though I might have missed). Ronda or Mike Perry, that is a proper hypetrain shutdown.

Undefeated UFC fighters of the top of my head:

  • Khabib Nurmagomedov
  • Joanna Jędrzejczyk
  • Cody Garbrandt
  • Mirsad Bektic
  • Mark Diakiese
  • Joaquim Silva
  • Diego Rivas
  • Jon Jones


Your point?
 
I would Love to see a rematch.


Id bet the Range Rover that Choi absolutely melts Swanson in a rematch. Even though he gave his reasons I think Cub would like to avoid it for more obvious ones.
