Choi Doo-ho romped over Sam Sicilia in a first-round TKO at the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Fight Night Seoul, Saturday.
The baby-faced Choi marked himself as the owner of the night, knocking out the American in just a minute and a half of the first round.
During the short showdown, Choi cornered Sicilia with powerful punches, landing a left to Sicilia’s jaw, quickly followed by more punches. As the referee stopped the fight, it seemed that Choi looked down on Sicilia with disdain, which the crowd thought was the best minute of the night so far.
“I am the best in the world,” said Choi, who was not even out of breath.
In contrast to his remarks in the heat of battle, he bowed to Sicilia who saw his two-bout winning streak snapped by Choi. It was only Choi’s second UFC bout.
With the win, Choi is on an 11-fight winning streak.
