“He’s a solid fighter, and his striking isn’t bad,” Choi said of Charlier.”I prepared with my brother (Jung) Chan-sung and coach (Ha) Dong-ho. The most important thing is to follow the strategy, trust the team, and trust myself. I will not be shaken and will work hard on that part to get to the Octagon.” “At the time, I thought, ‘I can get into the rankings,’ but now I’m not so obsessed with wins and losses, so I can focus more on my performance,” he said, explaining his change in mindset after three straight losses since 2021, when he was close to breaking into the top 15.In conclusion, Choi said, “I am who I am today because of my fans.
