Road to UFC 3: Episode 5 Breakdown and Predictions

Flyweight, Choi Dong Hun (7-0) Vs. Angad Bisht (10-3)

Choi Dong Hun

Pros

  • Uses a lot of feints
  • Counter strikes well
  • Goon in the clinch
  • Active jab
  • Switches stances often
  • Improved kickboxing
  • Throws in twos

Cons

  • Doesn’t like pressure
  • Vulnerable in exchanges
  • Too patient
  • Sloppy in extended combinations
  • Suspect cardio
  • One-dimensional

Angad Bisht

Pros

  • Slick back take
  • Decent-enough wrestling
  • Scrambles well
  • Good ground and pound
  • Durable

Cons

  • Pressed back to easy
  • Flat-footed
  • Overzealous in the grappling
  • Lacks volume
  • Open to the body

Prediction: Both of these guys I still have big concerns about even though they won their opening bout. Bisht beat a guy that was super green and I thought Hun should’ve lost his fight.

Hun is an undefeated fighter but he leaves a lot to be desired. He has the skill to be very good but lacks the ability to put it together. Bisht has improved over time but isn’t a UFC-level fighter. Hun has more potential between the two. I believe Hun has already beaten guys to the level of Bisht. Bisht isn’t going to push the pace to really challenge Hun so I think Hun cruises to an eventual finish by TKO in this Road to UFC 3 semifinal.
