DongHun Choi secured a UFC contract with a decisive first-round knockout victory over Kiru Sahota at UFC Macau, improving his professional record to 9-0.
DongHun Choi punched his way to a UFC contract in dramatic fashion. The young South Korean flyweight made waves at UFC Macau. How? By landing just one decisive punch.
In what was the biggest win of his career, he left Kiru Sahota down and out. It took only a single punch to change everything for Choi. Watch that career-defining strike below—it’s a moment you’ll want to see again and again.
After a brief feeling-out process, Choi let loose. A right hook clipped Sahota, setting the stage. Then came two more hard punches. The second right hook landed clean on Sahota’s chin, shaking his balance. Referee Mark Craig wasted no time stepping in, calling the fight at 2:36 into the first round.
This wasn’t just any victory for Choi. It was definitive. Previously, he’d secured his spot in the finals with a pair of split decisions. Sahota had also needed the judges’ nod to reach this point.
Now, at just 25 years old, Choi stands undefeated with a 9-0 record as a pro. A bright future seems inevitable for this rising star.
