UFC 310 was a roaring success, with a host of fan-favorite fighters scoring sensational wins under the bright lights of Las Vegas.
One of those big winners was promotional veteran 'The Korean Superboy' Doo Ho Choi, who has since taken to social media to share one of the best post-fight callouts in recent memory.

'Korean Superboy' Doo Ho Choi Calls Out Fellow UFC 310 Conqueror Bryce Mitchell
The flashy South Korean featherweight is now on a two-fight winning streak after following up his brutal KO of Bill Algeo with a sensational knockout against Nate Landwehr at UFC 310 last weekend.
“I feel very great, very happy. In the old generation of the featherweight division I was ranked number 11, but in this new generation I am happy to show that I am at a new level and have what it takes to survive here,” he told Joe Rogan in the octagon.
“My next opponent, I am so ready to get Bryce Mitchell. I want a great performance against Bryce Mitchell in the octagon and I believe if I fight Mitchell I will end up in the next generation of featherweights.”
'Thug Nasty' would fight (and claim the victory) less than 30 minutes later, earning a fantastic third-round knockout over Kron Gracie with some truly vicious hellbows.
Although Mitchell has not responded to Choi's call, 'The Korean Superboy' continues to tease a showdown with 'Thug Nasty' – even getting political with his social media antics.
“April? Can you?” he suggested in an Instagram post, tagging the UFC matchmakers alongside a photo of our home planet; Exciting Mitchell, who is known as a flat-earther.
“I believe Bryce Mitchell is a very good fighter, and when me and Bryce get into the octagon, I know it will be a blast for the fans,” Choi continued at the post-fight press conference.
“The fight with Bryce Mitchell could happen at any time [the UFC wants].”
Doo Ho Choi talks Dan '50K' Ige and possible UFC Fight Night: South Korea
Should Mitchell continue to ignore Choi's call, one other name was mentioned for 'The Korean Superboy' as a potential next opponent: Dan '50K' Ige.
“I'm actually a really big fan of Dan Ige, I know he fought The Korean Zombie, I saw that fight live and I've seen every Dan Ige fight live… I'm a big fan, I love his striking actions.
“It would be a great honor to fight Dan Ige, but for now I want to focus on Bryce instead of Dan Ige.”
Choi is also said to be asking the UFC to add his home country to their event schedule in 2025, with the promotion's South Korean card set to kick off as early as 2019.
“So there are a lot of heavy UFC fans in South Korea… They laugh, cry, get angry about all these UFC fights and watch them live every week – I really hope one day the UFC comes to Seoul or Busan or anywhere in South Korea and organize an event there.”
The UFC has only held two events in South Korea before; Frankie Edgar vs. Chan Sung Jung in 2019, and Benson Henderson vs. Jorge Masvidal in 2015.
“I hope the UFC knows that there are many South Korean fans waiting for an event in Korea.”
