BLOCKBUSTER BANTAMWEIGHT CONTENDERS’ BOUT! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) departs APEX for a special “Fight Night” extravaganza at AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas, on Sat., March 25, 2023, featuring a pair of thrilling 135-pound bouts. Surging No. 4-ranked contender Marlon Vera goes for his fifth consecutive win when he takes on exciting finisher and No. 5-seeded Cory Sandhagen. In UFC San Antonio’s ESPN+-streamed co-main event, former women’s 135-pound champion and current No. 3-ranked Holly Holm battles Yana Santos (No. 4).
Choi looked incredible from the early going as the South Korean fighter found his range and started to tag “Juicy J.” A few moments later Choi found a home for a gnarly left hand that planted Erosa on the canvas. Choi rushed in for some hammer fists and put the finishing touches on his biggest career win.

This win now puts Choi on a three-fight win streak in the stacked 145-pound division after starting his UFC career 0-2. If Choi can continue to stand and throw his strikes in bunces he’s going to be a major problem for many featherweights.
