A man who isn’t too close, however, is his fellow-South Korean Doo Ho Choi. The 28-year old was pegged as one of the biggest potential Featherweight prospects, but has gone on a 3-fight losing skid, fighting only three times in the last three years.
His most recent defeat was on home soil at UFC Busan where a very tough Charles Jourdain finished him in the second round. With mandatory military service seemingly set to occupy the next two years for Doo Ho Choi, many believe that his MMA career is up in the air. However, Korean Zombie believes that he can bounce back from it, telling MMA Fighting:
Jung expects that Choi’s military service can be beneficial to him in the long run:
Admitting that two years can be mentally draining, he said that the experience is something that he needs to overcome.
These words will be beneficial to Choi, who will be around 31 years old when he returns to MMA. However, he has raw talent and skill and can go far in the Featherweight division. Until then, Chan Sung Jung will continue to be the biggest South Korean star in all of MMA.
