Doo Ho Choi, also known as “The Korean Superboy,” quickly rose to prominence in the UFC with his aggressive striking and knockout power. His breakthrough came in 2015 when he secured a Performance of the Night victory over Sam Sicilia, followed by a memorable knockout win against Thiago Tavares. Choi’s exciting style earned him a Fight of the Night performance bonus against Cub Swanson in 2016.

Despite setbacks, including a losing streak, Choi’s resilience and power keep him a fan favorite, as he continues to prove his worth in the featherweight division. However, his personal life has taken a toll despite his success inside the Octagon. While he does keep his personal life very private fans still want to know about it.

Is UFC lightweight Doo Ho Choi married?

After making a name for himself inside the octagon, Choi’s personal life saw him marry in 2017 to Kim Soo-Hyo. However, after several years of marriage, the couple divorced in 2021. While Choi’s career continues to thrive, with notable victories and challenges, his personal journey has been marked by the same resilience. Despite the end of his marriage, he remains a popular figure in the UFC, with fans continuing to support his journey both inside and outside the cage. Choi who usually keeps a very low profile shared the news of his divorce with his audience during a show a year ago.

On the afternoon of the 15th, SBS’s popular entertainment show “Running Man” aired a special episode titled “Fiery Salary Fighters.” The episode featured several notable fighters, including Dong-Hyun Kim, Sung-Hoon Choo, Chan-Sung Jung, and Doo-Ho Choi. The appearance of these athletes added an exciting dynamic to the program, highlighting their unique personalities and skills while participating in various challenges and games with the show’s regular cast.  While chatting with the guests, So-Min Jeon did something else, prompting Jae-Suk Yoo to joke, “You’re all married.”, referencing So-Min’s attention to her appearance around male guests.

In an unexpected moment, Doo-Ho Choi stood up and revealed, “I’m sorry, but we divorced by agreement,” shocking everyone. Yang Se-Chan quickly stepped in, correcting the statement by sharing the latest update: “He’s currently single.”  Doo-ho Choi further added, “It’s been two and a half years (since the divorce),”, and, “I got married but divorced.” The fighter is currently focused on his upcoming fight at UFC 310 and looking to put up a show for the fans. While the fans now know about his married life let us now shift our focus towards his background.
