His fight with Melvin Manhoef was amazing!!
I think if he was built up a bit better in pride he would definately be a bigger MMA star. As a mma rookie he was able to take Rampage Jackson and Murillo Bustamante to a decision. Maybe we will get to see him in UFC someday.
Lets hear some love for the Korean Judo Superstar!!!

MAD respect for sik. He had the fight of the night and a well deserved victory.
he has heart for sure.
glad he finally got a win and against a monster.
I think he would smoke Takimoto and Sak in rematches as well.
I searched youtube but didnt find any of footage of his judo days. Is there any out there?

Usually I don't believe anything Toe_Hold says, but he's got a good point this time. Kudos to the Korean Judoka, that armbar was sweet.
Toe_Hold... you got lucky.
he would easily smoke Takimoto but it would turn into a grappling match with punches vs. Saku.
MAYBE in a pure grappling match hed stand a chance but allowing Saku to strike aswell would mean a decision doom for Sik.
however i read that he now trains with Saku?
"MAYBE in a pure grappling match hed stand a chance but allowing Saku to strike aswell would mean a decision doom for Sik."
Not really.
great fight....a good win for a much-improved fighter

Weathering Melvin's opening storm was one thing, but
weathering it in his fifth fight after an 0-4 career
start says a lot about this guy's heart and character.
He seems pretty humble, too. A lot of fighters
would've "celebrated" as if they had just "won" a
Maury Povich paternity test. But Yoon seemed
genuinely happy that his corner was happy that they
all finally earned that tough win.
I think that Yoon expects to win every fight. He's training with Saku. It's paying off.
