Lol, he beat Choi in Ssirum? He must be a great kickboxer :p

[Shiruba]

Well I don't know if he's fighting K-1 rules but I get too confused with all these K-1/FEG/Hero's/Dynamite things so K-1 signed him and K-1 held Dynamite!! USA =P

[tiefling]

I'm surprised K-1 hasn't signed the Ssirum guy that fought Ricardo Morais.

technically FEG signed him. K-1 is an event they run.

Yeah, I know, I was waiting for a reply from you. I have read a few times when you correct people on Sherdog for saying K-1 when it's Hero's and stuff like that.

force of habit I guess :P

Whats with Choi?

I heard he has a tumor in his pituitary gland! That sounds very serious.

[( o Y o )]

^sarcasm?

[El Presidente]

Great. This guy can start a new trilogy with Akebono. Oh joy.

[Dado]

^sarcasm?

No im completely serious.

[( o Y o )]

the tumor on his pituitary is the very reason he is a giant. It has been there long before he started r\wrestling in Korean and long before he ever fought in the US.

The CASC used the tumor as an excuse to ban he and Silva from fighting in the us. Their doctor said it was dangerous. FEG took Choi to another doctor who said it was not, and then they took him to the number 1 specialist for pituitary tumors in the US who also said it was totally safe for the guy to fight....but the CSAC refused as their doc said it was dangerous.

[Dado]

Ah ok phew.... That would have sucked.

I know a disorder of that gland is responsible for his gigantism but I didnt know it was a tumor!

Thanks for clearing that up. :)

[Shinbone]

I think I have to cry.

[K-1 Extremist]

So they're bringing in another freakshow to appease the Asian masses. I am not impressed by their performance.

Am I the only one to notice a knee brace on that guy?

[K-1 Extremist]

That's a pretty mean looking knee brace too!

[Blindo]

Feed him to Paul "The Mule" Slowinski and he won't get up anymore ;)

I was thinking of just giving him a paper cut and squeezing a lemon on it. You win. You are much more sadistic than I.

[Global Honored]

AWESOME! I heart Techno Goliath 1....now I have a new K-1 pure fighter to cheer for. This is the mega event I have been waiting for!!! K-1 DYNAMITE USA in Korea Town is Saved!!!

Found a bit of info on him:

Basically another sshireum (korean wrestling) guy going to the K-1. Him and Choi Hong Man have been rivals before and seems like they will meet in the ring again.
