A few days ago, MMA fighter Choi Hong Man was accused of assaulting a 20-year-old female student. The 7"2 fighter was accused of hitting the woman on the head with his fist, which he is vehemently denied, stating, "This is unfair." During a phone interview with Star News, Choi Hong Man spoke out against the accusation, saying,
"There were witnesses at the scene, and in reality, the person who got hit was me. I'm a person whose face is known by everyone... Think about it. Would I have done something like that when I'm not an idiot? This is an absurd situation that has left me dumbfounded. I was the person who got hit first. The woman kept following me around and pulling on my clothes, while she hit me and cursed at me... If you look around on the internet, there will be posts by people who witnessed the scene. There were a lot of people who saw what happened. All the claims by this woman are lies. Of course, I did admit to pushing the woman aside while being questioned at the police station. However, the woman claimed that I hit her with my fist causing her to stumble... How can someone who was hit that hard go home and be fine enough to post such a slur on the internet?Choi Hong Man also revealed that he would pursue legal action depending on how the situation turns out. He stated, "In the worst case scenario, I'll take legal action for defamation of character... I'm also hurt by some of the netizens who don't believe me. I hope this kind of situation never happens again. This is so unfair. How do you think I feel?" On this day, Choi Hong Man also uploaded a message on his homepage, expressing his thoughts; "If I had hit her with my fist, do you think she would have been okay? Unless I was an idiot, I could never do such a thing. I'm a public figure and I'm an MMA fighter - her statements are grossly exaggerated." Source + Photo: Star News
