“The Korean Superboy” Doo Ho Choi suffered a second-round TKO loss to Charles Jourdain on the main card of UFC on ESPN+ 23 in his home country of South Korea over the weekend. It was Choi’s first action in over a year and unfortunately, he will be returning to the sidelines while he recovers from an injury suffered during the bout.
According to Kumite TV’s John Hyon Ko on Twitter, The Korean Superboy suffered a fractured arm in the opening round of the night.
While Choi will have to spend some valuable time recovering from the injury before he can return to the cage in 2020, the good news is he earned a $50,000 bonus along with Jourdain for their thrilling Fight of the Night Performance.
An x-ray of Choi’s arm has since surfaced on social media.
