DK YOO online martial arts sensation, and self proclaimed modern day Bruce Lee challenged Brad Scott, a retired UFC, MMA fighter. Brad accepted on 6 days notice, flew from holiday, unprepared. Anyone hoping for a 1st minute KO would be disappointed because DK Yoo somehow survived 18 minutes. He survived with a lot of questionable tactics, not least continuous falling to the floor, clinching, turning his back on his opponent, and more clinching etc….Brad had said he didn't want to seriously hurt him so would only punch to the body not the head and this allowed DK Yoo to exceed expectations and last the fight. DK Yoo did not win, he comprehensively lost, in spite of or... because of various factors... perhaps the best that can be said is that he got in the ring. Was it worth watching? No, not at all. Take a look and see what you think.What's next for DK Yoo? A fight with Xiu Xiaodong whilst much trumpeted is extremely unlikely to happen, especially now. Will he return to exhibiting his movie like skill
