TORONTO -- Doo Ho Choi looks like hed need a chaperone to get into an R-rated movie, but he also might be one of the most dangerous strikers competing at UFC 206.Through three UFC appearances, Choi (14-1) has developed something of a cult following, thanks to his boyish look and back-to-back-to-back first-round knockouts. Hell seek UFC victory No. 4 this weekend against Cub Swanson.The South Korean featherweight is 25, but could easily pass for a teenager. Hes aware his appearance leaves an impression and goes by the nickname The Korean Superboy.I do believe my looks play a role in my popularity, said Choi, through an interpreter. Especially amongst female fans in Korea, looks are very important. I dont look like a fighter but Im very violent.Choi, who began training MMA at age 17, broke into the UFC in November 2014 with an 18-second knockout. The main event of the UFC card Choi debuted on featured Swanson in a fight against Frankie Edgar.Its been a quick rise for Choi ever since, as hell take on Swanson during the pay-per-view portion of UFC 206 inside Canada Air Centre. Choi is focused on the fight but says hes ready for a title shot now. He expects to get one in 2017.After I knock out the No. 4-ranked fighter in my division, I want someone in the top three, Choi said. Im looking to get a title shot. Not only am I ready, Im ready right now.Like his countryman and fellow UFC featherweight Chan Sung Jung, Choi will be required to serve a two-year stint in the South Korean military at some point. Military service is mandatory for all South Korean males.Jung (13-4) recently finished that obligation and is scheduled to return from more than a three-year layoff in February. Choi says hes not currently planning out that portion of his life and is only focused on whats in front of him.I have to go before the age of 28, so Im not really thinking about it now, Choi said. Im not thinking too pessimistic of it. Im very accepting of the fact I have to go as a Korean man, but Im not thinking about it right now.Swanson (23-7) is on a two-fight win streak and has been floating around the top of the division the past decade.Choi says hes been watching Swanson fight since well before he joined the UFC and couldnt ask for a better fight to showcase his style and continue to gain notoriety.Cub has a style comparable to mine, hes very physical and very violent, Choi said. This fight will be exciting.MMA is serious business but while wins and losses are important, whats more important is entertaining fans. There arent too many Asian fighters who fight like I do, really go for the knockout.Knockouts are the cream of the crop in terms of entertainment, so thats what I go for.

The 19-year-old Olsen played 34 games with the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL this season. In that time, hes recorded 17 goals and 17 assists with 36 penalty minutes. Air Max 90 Prezzo Basso . PETERSBURG, Fla. Modern-day horseracing is a global game. From trainers in one part of the world plotting an assault on races in another, to the breeding barn where the good life of a shuttle stallion can be interrupted by flights to and from various points of the compass at any time of the year. Jockeys, too, can ride on one continent today and another the next.While BMW Caulfield Cup contender Scottish has had the prospect of fatherhood deprived him, to preserve his form on the track, hell be stepping out in Saturdays headline feature demonstrative of just how international horseracing is.Scottish was bred in Ireland, his trainer is English, his owner is a Dubai Sheikh, and his jockey is an Aussie. It is quite a mix.Kerrin McEvoy is no stranger to just how big that world has become, and he will ride Scottish in the 2400 metres feature hoping for his second win in one the biggest and resonant jewels in the Australian racing crown.Its a bit of a variety there, McEvoy quipped about the gelding rated the $7.50 second favourite with UBET.?Trained by Charlie Appleby out of Englands famous Newmarket racing centre, Scottishs Irish sire, Teofilo, was undefeated in a five-start racing career across the UK and Ireland. McEvoy will wear the royal blue colours of Godolphin, the global racing and breeding empire of Sheikh Mohammad, Ruler of Dubai.[Scottish] has settled in really well since arriving in Melbourne, McEvoy noted of the geldings two-and-a-half week southern stay so far, quick also to respond to questions over whether his mount would be strong enough over the cup trip despite having not yet won over the distance in 11 starts.European horses with good 2000 metres form [three wins] can often produce good performances over 2400 metres here.Plus, Scottish ran second to Highland Reel over the distance last year, he said referring to the second-placed runner in the Group 1 Prix de lArc de Triomphe (2400m) in France earlier this month.That certainly isnt a bad formline, either, as Highland Reel also ran third the 2015 Cox Plate [2040m]. Though Appleby is the latest of Godolphins trainers to fly their charges -- literally a score of them -- across the world over the past two decades to compete for Melbournes biggest prizes, McEvoy was first successful in the $Aus3 million feature in 2008 aboard All The Good at 40-1 for Godolphin and Saeed bin Suroor.Add that to his success on Brew [14-1] in the Melbourne Cup of 2000, which was followed by an six-year association with Godolphin in Europe as their retained No. 2 jockey based in England, behind Frankie Dettori, before returning to Australia in 2008 as Godolphin opened up a local operation in Sydney.It was really something to win the Melbourne Cup at such a young age, McEvoy said of that day that he saluted the judge at Flemington while still a teenager.It set me up to be noticed and also the confidence to take on the challenge of racing on the other side of the world.Hailing from Streaky Bay in South Australia, then to the big stage of racing in Melbourne, the centuries-old tradition of Royal Ascoot, Longchamp and Cologne would at the time have seemed light years away.ddddddddddddThere were Group 1 wins at Doncaster in England, Baden-Baden in Germany and top-line successes in the UAE let alone victory in the 2004 English St Leger -- one of the true classic races. Phone calls from royalty arent the norm for most, but there were the few occasions when Sheikh Mohammad called up McEvoy in his contacts list and dialed the number.Ive spoken to him a couple of times on the phone, McEvoy told ESPN. It was special to get a call from him after the English Derby and the Caulfield Cup.I spoken with the Sheikh often at the races, too. Theyre very good at Godolphin. They really understand horses and everything that goes into their preparation.McEvoy would rarely the loudest person in the room. Despite riding among the top rank of jockeys and races for the best part of two decades, he is still one of the quiet achievers; he lets his skill in the saddle be the dominant conversation.Experience in different parts of the world is important, but local knowledge carries just as much favour in major races.Kerrin will be a real asset for Scottish, says Jim McGrath, the Melbourne-born British broadcasting legend who called more than 20 English Derbies and Grand Nationals for the BBC and watched as his fellow countryman embark on his northern hemisphere sojourn.Hes very experienced riding European stayers and is a man with expert knowledge of riding around Melbourne tracks. Hes riding at the top of his form.He was one of the most popular overseas visitors [to compete in England] over the last 20 years. He very quickly won the respect of not only punters but also owners and trainers.Even though he was a retained rider for Godolphin, he rode for an enormous number of other stables. One year he rode for well over 50 other stables, which is indicative of just how popular he was and perceived by other professionals.Hes a man that speaks so well after each race, too, and can give a good report to trainers. Hes a first-class jockey.First class or not, the risk of a serious fall hangs over a jockeys head every day they take to the track. Extreme sports are increasingly the thing for the leisure-time thrill seeker nowadays, but the act of riding a 500kg animal at speeds of up to 60km/h, often with 15 or more other horses and riders in close proximity, is also extreme and theres a lot to consider in a jockeys mind in some very short spaces of time.McEvoy suffered serious back injuries in a fall at Gosford, NSW, in 2010, that resulted in months laid up and out of action. Tenacity was the winner, however, as he steered Sepoy to victory in the 2011 Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) in Sydney.Now nudging 30 Group 1 winners and, at 35 years-of-age, still in his race-riding prime, theres a lot more in store from Kerrin McEvoy; and this Saturday may just see another special moment in an exceptional globetrotting career.
