Anyone able to enlighten me much on Seung Woo Choi? I don't know if I've ever seen him fight and don't recall ever hearing about him.
I'm really happy to see Gavin Tucker back, I remember hearing some really good things about him before his debut and thought he looked fantastic against Sam Sicillia, then saw him on the wrong end of one of the worst prolonged beatings I've ever witnessed against Glenn.
I'm kinda glad he's not rushed back because that was a life changing style beating, hopefully he's recovered entirely (or as much as possible from it), I've no idea what this Choi fella is about though. The few fights I've seen, Tucker has looked good on the feet and alright top control, I dunno whether he just ran into a far better fighter against Glenn who had the top game to dominate him and make him pay or what.
I kinda want to bet on Tucker since I like him, but given he's nearly -200 and coming back from 2 years out after that last fight I'm not sure if I want to touch that. On the one hand I guess it confirmed that the guy will fight for your money, he had a lot of chances to quit and didn't when put in horrible positions and I vaguely remember him sweeping Glenn in the third round midway through that beating, before ending up on the bottom again.
Are the odds about right here? Is his opponent potentially worth a bet as a bit of an underdog or should I just skip this fight entirely from a betting perspective and hope to see Tucker come back as a fan?
It's really hard to gauge Choi's abilities. He got thrown in the fire against an undefeated rising star out of Russia in his UFC debut. Seems to be a decent striker, not too much to say about his ground game but he was always able to get back to his feet against Evloev.
Tucker vs Glenn was weird. Glenn made him look like a complete amateur. I have no doubt that got in his head a bit, especially considering how cocky he was prior. But I don't see Choi being able to do the same here. -200 on Tucker (I'm seeing -180 now) seems pretty fair to bet him. I'd only go small if I wanted to take a stab on Choi
