Hong Man Choi’s return to MMA may have been delayed recently, but the seven-foot-two South Korean is still considering fighting again.
Choi was scheduled to fight Carlos Toyota on Sept. 12 at Revolution 2 in South Korea, however, he withdrew just hours before the fight due to a money issue with the promotion.
According to a source close to Choi, he’s still hopeful to resume his fighting career in the near future.
The 33-year-old hasn’t competed in MMA since his Oct. 2009 loss to Ikuhisa Minowa in the DREAM Super Hulk Grand Prix semi-finals, which came following his win over former baseball star Jose Canseco in the quarter-finals. Since then, “The Techno Goliath” has focused on his television career.
Choi’s MMA record is 2-3. He’s 12-6 as a kickboxer, however, he hasn’t competed in that sport since 2008.
