  "account": "UFC 331 live blog: Patricio Pitbull vs. Doo Ho Choi, the main card featherweight bout, took place Saturday at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Pitbull, a former two-division champion in Bellator, entered the fight with a record of 37-9. Since his UFC debut in 2025, however, his performances have been inconsistent. After suffering a dull decision loss to Yair Rodriguez, Pitbull bounced back with a win over Dan Ige before losing to Aaron Pico via decision.\n\nAt 39 years old, Pitbull's final chance to establish himself as a world-title contender hangs in the balance. Opponent Doo Ho Choi, known as \"The Korean Superboy,\" has been on a hot streak with back-to-back knockout victories over Daniel Santos, Nate Landwehr, and Bill Algeo. Choi's impressive track record in the UFC includes notable fights like his legendary clash with Cub Swanson at UFC 206, an event that led to both fighters joining the Hall of Fame.
