Watch Cub Swanson, Dooho Choi's 2016 Fight of the Year and UFC HOF war in full

UFC CEO Dana White has seen his share of fights, so to label something as one of the best in history is no small thing.

But that’s what he called the 2016 featherweight fight at UFC 206 between Cub Swanson and Dooho Choi – a bout that was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame six years later.

Swanson and Choi threw down in an all-time classic brawl at UFC 206 in Toronto in December 2016. The fight, which Swanson won by unanimous decision, was the Fight of the Year for most MMA news outlets and pundits. The fight and its participants was enshrined in the Fight Wing of the UFC’s Hall of Fame in 2022.

“The fight between Cub Swanson and Dooho Choi is one of the greatest fights of all time,” White said when it went into the HOF. “This fight was an absolute war for all three rounds and both guys left everything they had inside the octagon. It was crazy. This fight was an incredible display of heart, endurance and determination and it was so good, it was named the 2016 Fight of the Year. (It) will always be remembered as one of the best ever.”

Choi had Swanson in trouble in the first round with a standing guillotine choke and later put him on the canvas with a big right hand. But Swanson recovered each time he was in trouble and won with a pair of 30-27 scores and a 29-28.
