“The Korean Superboy” Doo Ho Choi is set to make his Octagon return – but it won’t be against Cub Swanson. The Las Vegas-based promotion has announced that Choi is set to return to fighting action at UFC Busan in South Korea.

Choi will be taking on Canada’s Charles Jourdain from the Sajik Arena on December 21.

Choi emerged as somewhat of a fan favorite with his vicious knockout streak upon entering the UFC back in 2014. He was then matched up against veteran Cub Swanson at UFC 206 in 2016. Although Choi didn’t pick up the win, he went five rounds with Swanson in what was an absolute war, and Fight Of The Year.

He then returned against Jeremy Stephens at UFC St. Louis in January of 2018, where he was finished in the second round. Choi is looking to end his two-fight losing skid when he makes the walk to the Octagon in front of his native Korean crowd this December. He’ll take on Jourdain, a 9-2 prospect who comes off an unsuccessful UFC debut, dropping a decision to Desmond Green in May.

What do you think about Doo Ho Choi making his Octagon return in South Korea this December?

Brian Ortega’s UFC return is set. The UFC announced earlier today (Mon. September 23, 2019) that “T-City” will take on “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung.

The fight has been building up for quite some time as the two have gone back-and-forth through the media in recent weeks. Now, they’ll headline the December 21 card from Jung’s backyard of Busan, South Korea inside the Sajik Arena. Given the personal animosity between the pair, the headliner should make for quite the matchup.

Ortega was undefeated in his professional mixed martial arts (MMA) career, racking up a record of 14-0. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace met his match against current 145-pound champion Max Holloway at UFC 231 last December. After taking a beating on the feet, Ortega was defeated via TKO due to a doctor stoppage after the fourth round. Now, over a year later, he’ll attempt to bounce back against a knockout artist in Jung.

“The Korean Zombie” has won two of his last three bouts, his most recent outing resulting in a first-round stoppage victory over Renato Moicano in South Carolina. The 32-year-old is still in the prime of his career, and is gunning for another shot at the featherweight title after a failed bid back in 2013 when he was defeated by Jose Aldo.

Currently, only two other fights have been announced for the UFC Busan card. Alexandre Pantoja will take on Matt Schnell at flyweight, while light heavyweights Volkan Oezdemir and Aleksandar Raki? go to battle in what should be an explosive affair.
