Hong Man Choi, 2 fights in 3 weeks? Lebanner then Fedor?

I don't know if this has been posted, i looked for it but couldnt' find it.

Hong Man Choi is fighting in the K-1 card on 12/8/07 against Jerome LeBanner according to the sherdog event finder. But he's scheduled to fight Fedor on the NYE card.

Does anyone else think this is a BAD IDEA to let him fight 3 weeks before fighting fedor. I'm not saying anything about fedor expect for if he's p4p the best fighter, wouldn't you want to be injury, extreme fatigue free before fighting fedor?

i have a feeling he won't show up to fight fedor, choi will bail

Choi is fighting Fedor on new years? really? where the hell have I been :s

is this confirmed?

He's not P4P the best fighter, but Choi is crazy for taking on Lebanner and Fedor inside of a month. I doubt he'll be around for the NYE card without injury.

a few MMANEWs sites i'll source if you really want, but later

again, i'm not 100% sure if this is confirmed, but as far as i can see he'll be fighting, my hope is hong won't fight, and they'll actually put someone (arona?) that can actually "test" fedor

your right, he was...but not anymore. Until he beats the top 5 heavyweights, but you can't deny that he's one of the baddest mofos.

I mean, it doesnt make sense to me....

If Fedor is in an event, especially after his long layoff... he is gonna make or break the show

if Choi fights 12/08/07, thats freakin retarded to have Fedor fight Choi on new years...

why take that big a risk? MMA is a pretty dangerous sport and he could easily get injured...

and I mean Lebanner? he is an insane striker.... not exactly like Choi is fighting a scrub

Choi has seen Fedors Sambo tournaments and plans not to show up.

if this is true there's no way he'll be able to fight Fedor. Lebanner will fuck his ass up too much.
