UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs Spivak is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas on February 5 at the popular UFC Apex Arena which will host South Korean Choi Doo-Ho and Canadian Kyle Nelson In the featherweight division. Both fighters are on the verge of dropping out of the world’s elite organisation. Who will be able to pull off this momentous victory for themselves? The fight is planned for 04:00 UK time.
We mustn’t totally write off Nelson, who even if he can’t distinguish himself with good performances in the UFC, at least he’s been active. Choi, on the other hand, has been missing all the time, apparently, the Korean has a lot of injuries that are making them feel. Kyle will have an advantage in size, and he could be just as good in striking, especially in his range of punches.
Korean fighter Doo Ho Choi is 31 years old and has a record of 14 wins and four losses. ‘’The Korean Superboy’’ was the winner of the 23rd season of the reality show TUF. But after that achievement, he began to have an outright slump, leading to three consecutive defeats. The athlete’s level of opposition had grown tremendously, and he always had a lot of downtime between fights. So, Choi lost to American Cub ‘’Killer’’ Swanson, American Jeremy ‘’Lil Heathen’’ Stephens and Canadian Charles ‘’Air’’ Jourdain.
‘’The Korean Superboy’’ relies more on his striking. Doo has good footwork, good cardio and basic grappling skills are present. However, another long downtime without fighting practice will not do him any good.
Kyle Nelson carries the intimidating nickname ‘’Monster’’ but has failed to become the scary bogeyman for UFC fighters. In the five fights he has fought, he has just one win. Usually, after such results, athletes don’t stay in Dana White’s league for long, but the 31-year-old Canadian was made an exception. The Ontario native’s record to date includes 13 wins and five losses. In his most recent fight, he lost on points to Englishman Jay ‘’The Black Country Banger’’ Herbert.
Nelson is also most comfortable on the counter, having knockout severe power in his punches. ‘’Monster’’ has some jiu-jitsu skills, but they don’t work against more or less tough fighters. It’s also not uncommon for Canadian to be let down by cardio.
