Choi, who is a longtime hardcore fan-favorite due to his action-fighting sensibilities, has quietly strung together two wins after years of inactivity and injuries. That said, Choi did have to delay this initial booking due to a knee injury, so I'll be curious to see how healthy the Korean is for this fight. On the other side is Santos, who is your prototypical Chute Boxe fighter who doesn't know how to say no to an exchange.
