Choi to put on show for the 'real main event'
To a large contingent of diehard MMA fans, the main event of Saturday’s UFC 206 card in Toronto begins long before Max Holloway and Anthony Pettis step into the Octagon. To them, featherweights Dooho Choi and Cub Swanson are the real headliners.
“I am very grateful and happy that fans think it's the real main event,” Choi said through manager / translator Alan Cho. “I think my previous fights and Cub's previous fights have affected fans' thoughts. I will always fight the way fans expect and enjoy.”
In the case of Choi, that means chasing the knockout with something best described as a nonchalant intensity. Choi pressures opponents quietly but consistently, and then all of a sudden…BOOM.
