Doo Ho Choi made a triumphant return to the Octagon at UFC 310, earning a third-round TKO victory over Nate Landwehr. The South Korean featherweight dazzled fans with a striking masterclass and a ruthless finish on the ground, adding another impressive win to his record.
Choi, 33, first stormed into UFC fame in 2016 with his thrilling Fight of the Year battle against Cub Swanson. Since then, injuries and setbacks have kept him largely out of action. However, with two victories in 2024, including Saturday night’s finish, he’s showing he still has plenty left to offer.
The bout began with Choi displaying sharp boxing, rocking Landwehr early with precise striking combinations.
As the fight progressed, Choi shifted gears, showcasing his grappling skills. In the final moments of the fight, “The Korean Superboy” secured a dominant crucifix position and unleashed ground-and-pound strikes that forced the referee to stop the contest at 1:42 of Round 3.
Speaking about his win, Choi was thrilled with his performance.
Afterward, he called out Bryce Mitchell, who also fought later that night, saying, “Let’s pair up next, Bryce!” If this matchup comes to pass, it could quickly become a fan favorite.
This victory not only ended Landwehr’s impressive run but also boosted Choi’s momentum. After dealing with a rough skid in recent years, Choi seems ready to climb back toward title contention.
The Korean star’s performance was widely praised online, with the UFC highlighting the ground-and-pound finish on social media:
“Some NASTY ground and pound to put an end to this one. Dooho Choi adds another TKO victory to the resume!” the UFC tweeted.
Fans are eager to see if Choi’s rebirth in the Octagon continues as he sets his sights on tougher competition. For now, his win at UFC 310 signals “The Korean Superboy” is officially back in the spotlight.
