[스페셜타임스 정시환 기자] Hello, this is the video news team of Special Times, an internet media company.
This news is regarding Choo Seong-hoon’s match, Japan’s Aoki ‘I really hate Choo Seong-hun’.
He honestly revealed the bad feelings he has had for Shinya Aoki and Seonghoon Choo for 14 years ahead of the mixed martial arts fight. He also vowed to finish the game before going to a decision.
On the 27th, Aoki will fight Sung-Hoon Choo in a mixed martial arts light weight match at One Championship 199 in Singapore. In an interview with Japanese broadcaster Abema, Aoki said, “I’ve always hated Choo Sung-hoon. Of course he doesn’t have to worry regarding that. ‘I will never forget the essence,’ he said.
Aoki, who shared how he usually thinks of official mixed martial arts fights, said, ‘It’s not just that time has passed when the match is over, one of the two must surrender.’ did.
Aoki was ranked second in the world in mixed martial arts lightweight from 2007 to 2010. Japan’s 16-game winning streak since 2009 is on-going. In the 2000s, Asia’s strongest judo player, Seong-Hoon Choo, was ranked in the top 10 in the middleweight world by serving as the K-One Heroes champion even following converting to mixed martial arts.
In 2008, Aoki demanded a match through the ‘Dream’, a mixed martial arts competition run by K-One at the time. At that time, Sung-Hoon Choo was a middleweight fighter with two weight classes, so of course it didn’t happen. However, even following that, Aoki did not stop provoking Seong-Hoon Choo.
As Choo Seong-hoon was downgraded to welterweight in 2012, the weight difference was reduced to one level. Aoki made her welterweight debut in 2015, and, despite losing in 2017, even fought for the welterweight title at the One Championship. Choo Sung-hoon, who left the UFC, entered the One Championship and faced off once morest Aoki.
Of course, it is also true that 14 years ago, it was difficult to imagine that the two of them would face each other. Choo Sung-hoon did not hide that the fight with Aoki was still difficult, saying, ‘Of course Japan will pay attention, but in the world, ‘what is this matchup?’
Choo Seong-hoon admitted, ‘From an international point of view, it can be seen that ‘something is not.’ Just think of it as a normal game. I want to make a memorable match that will remain on one page in the history of mixed martial arts.”
One Championship has held 198 events in 23 countries since 2011, including the first in the Netherlands and Mongolia this year. In Korea, it is broadcast as IB Sports.
