Facing Landwehr in December
Choi will face Nate Landwehr in a featherweight bout at UFC 310 in Las Vegas on December 7, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Choi will fight the older Landwehr in December coming off a second-round TKO victory over Bill Algeo in his most recent UFC appearance in July. The 33-year-old Korean holds a respectable 4-3-1 UFC record, though July's victory was his first since 2016. Choi will look to use his considerable stopping power (12 of 15 professional victories via KO/TKO) to take down Landwehr, though the older American boasts an impressive 9-2 record in KO/TKO stoppages, indicating that Choi needs to keep his guard up in this one.

First win since July 2016
Choi defeated Bill Algeo via TKO (punches) at 3:38 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
To say this win is a long time coming for Choi would be the understatement of the century. Due to his mandatory military commitment in his native South Korea, Choi had fought just four times since December 2016, without a win during that span (0-3, 1NC). He entered here as a +170 underdog against Algeo and was sharp from the very start. Choi took advantage of Algeo's aggressiveness early on and clamped on multiple deep submission attempts. None of them earned the stoppage, but it served to tire out his opponent. With the fight up for grabs in Round 2, Choi landed two big shots to Algeo's right eye, the second of which put him away. Now 33 years of age, hopefully Choi can compete a bit more frequently in the next couple years.

To return against Algeo
Choi will take on Bill Algeo in a featherweight matchup at UFC Vegas 94 on July 20, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
It has been a long stretch on the sidelines for Choi, who hasn't competed since fighting Kyle Nelson to a draw in February of 2023, which snapped a three-fight losing streak. Nelson happens to be the most recent opponent of Algeo as well, but Nelson picked up a first-round finish in that fight. On paper, Choi concedes height and reach numbers to Algeo, in addition to marks in striking volume and striking defense.

Mental mistake leads to draw
Choi and Kyle Nelson fought to a majority draw (29-27, 28-28, 28-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Fighting for the first time in three years and a handful of months, Choi made an incomprehensible mental mistake which turned a clear-cut victory into a disappointing draw. With the fight up for grabs in Round 3, Choi hit Nelson with a headbutt from top position. It was by no means vicious, but it was clearly intentional, and referee Chris Tognoni was correct in docking him a point. The end result was all three judges scoring the round 9-9 and changing a unanimous decision Choi victory to a majority draw. Choi didn't absorb much damage in this fight, which means it's imperative he step back into the Octagon ASAP. He'll be 32 years of age this coming April, is winless in his last four fights (0-3-1), and is without a victory dating back to July 2016.

Fight moved to Vegas
Choi's scheduled featherweight matchup against Kyle Nelson will now take place at UFC Vegas 68 on Feb. 4 at the Apex in Las Vegas, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Choi has seen $50,000 post-fight bonuses in each of his past five fights, but his last three trips to the Octagon have unfortunately ended in defeat. He was set to return from a three-year layoff in his native South Korea, but the UFC ultimately scrapped the entire event and moved it to Las Vegas. While Choi won't have the crowd in his favor as much, it's still a quality bounce-back opportunity against a fighter who is 1-4 under the UFC banner.
