Kiru Singh Sahota: Manchester fighter looks to break into UFC
Kiru Singh Sahota (12-2) aims to become the first British Sikh to secure a contract in the finals of The Road to UFC as he takes on Choi Dong-hun at UFC Fight Night 248. The 29-year-old has won seven of his last eight fights and is now one step away from making it to the big time in the UFC. Kiru is a well-rounded fighter with good knockout power as well as a strong wrestling base which will be vital in this fight with Choi.
Choi Dong-hun: Unbeaten Korean flyweight puts 100% record on the line
Choi Dong-hun (8-0) has won all eight of his professional MMA fights and the Korean will be super confident coming into this final. He did not have it all his own way however in his two fights to reach this stage as he only got past Niushiyue Ji and Angad Bisht on split decisions. He will know he has to raise his levels here against Kiru if he is to earn the UFC contract.
Kiru Singh Sahota vs Choi Dong-hun Prediction
We have a fascinating fight with the flyweights for this Road to UFC final as England’s Kiru Singh Sahota meets Choi Dong-hun.
We like the more experienced Kiru Singh Sahota in this one. He is well-rounded and has a varied array of skills that should allow him to handle the unbeaten Korean.
There is plenty on the line here and nerves could well play a factor, but the experience of the Englishmen can just give him the edge.
Prediction: Kiru Singh Sahota to win
