Lasts 96 seconds in Vegas
Choi lost to Steve Garcia via TKO (punches) at 1:36 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Entering having lost three of his last four fights and with one victory dating back to June 2021, Choi played right into Garcia's hands and paid for it. Why you would will engage in a slugfest against an opponent with three straight knockout wins on his resume is beyond comprehension. The two men battled along the fence for a bit, at which point they separated, and Choi was perfectly content with trying to put Garcia away before he got finished himself. It didn't work out. Given his struggles in recent years and performance here, Choi is certainly no lock to receive another opportunity with the company.

Tough draw at UFC Vegas 94
Choi (undisclosed) will take on Steve Garcia in a featherweight matchup at UFC Vegas 94 on July 20, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Choi snapped a three-fight skid with a decision victory over Jarno Errens in August and was then scheduled to face Morgan Charriere the following April, but he withdrew from that fight due to undisclosed reasons. Now presumably healthy, he draws a tough matchup in Garcia, who is riding a streak of three consecutive stoppage victories, each within two rounds. Garcia also holds statistical advantages in striking volume, striking accuracy, striking defense and takedown average.

Takes decision in Singapore opener
Choi defeated Jarno Errens via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Singapore.
ANALYSIS
There's zero question Choi was the consistently more effective fighter over the course of the bout. He started quick landing plenty of volume on the feet. He did get knocked down by Errens in Round 2 but responded with a knockdown of his own in Round 3, in addition to 1:52 worth of control time in the final frame. Choi entered having lost three in a row, so it was a near certainty he would have been handed his walking papers if he didn't emerge victorious here.
