Alistair Overeem Meets 'The Korean Superboy'
Alistair Overeem Meets 'The Korean Superboy'
UFC heavyweight Alistair Overeem met featherweight sensation Doo Ho Choi during promotional visit.
Alistair Overeem may be coming off a loss to Stipe Miocic at UFC 203 last month, but life isn't all bad for the Dutch heavyweight.
Overeem is currently on a UFC promotional tour in Asia, and at an open workout session Monday in South Korea, he was introduced to one of the most highly rated UFC prospects in the region--Doo Ho Choi.
Choi has made a big impact since entering the UFC. The featherweight has won all three of his fights inside the first round via knockout or TKO.
On Monday, Choi came face-to-face with Overeem, and while the heavyweight appeared to recognize Choi, the obvious communication barriers meant the two looked a little more comfortable with each other when hitting pads.

While Overeem's return date is yet to be fixed, Choi is back in action at UFC 206 in Toronto, Canada, on December 10. That evening, Choi will face the toughest opponent of his UFC career so far when he takes on Cub Swanson.
Choi will be looking for his 14th straight victory, and a win against Swanson could well launch him up the rankings toward the UFC featherweight title picture.
