Choi Hong-man named vice president of Korea MMA Federation
Former heavyweight Choi Hong-man has reportedly been appointed vice president of the Korea MMA Federation.
He is expected to move into sports administration to help elevate MMA as a recognized elite discipline.
MMA was reportedly added to the official program for the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya this September.
Korean organizations have submitted bids to be the national governing body, and the national sports council is said to plan a selection announcement in February.
Choi's recent comeback in entertainment and his public aim to stage a final fight this year are reportedly set to continue alongside his new administrative role.
Observers say his profile and international contacts could bolster the federation's external influence.
