Yoshiko vs Young Ji Kim

Destanie Yarbrough vs Begimzhan Kasymova

Wow. Unexpected.

Yoshiko vs Young Ji Kim

Okay, I wish I would have said it earlier, because I kind of saw this coming. Doesn't surprise me at all.

 

[leto1776]

I hope they add another fight or two to the main card.

OP updated.

 

[Asurah]

Young Guns card is filled out


Huggy Bear vs Gun Oh Shim
Yincang Bao vs Won Bin Ki
Jung Kyo Park vs In Soo Hwang
Yong Geun Kim vs Yi Sak Kim

One of their better Young Guns cards, a lot of recognizable names and a few younger talents

 

[leto1776]

Damn, hell of a preliminary event. Any other Road FC, that'd be one marquee main event away from a main card.

Nandinerdene vs Fiziev just shows that the JBG does indeed love his Korean followers.
Ki vs. Baoyincang could be a deciding fight in their trajectories
Huggy Bear vs Shim is sure to be violent
You'd have to pay me to not watch a Special Force Park fight.

Still hoping for another fight or two for the main card. 4 fights just isn't enough.

I agree man! Looking forward to this show, at the beginning I was expecting just a xx show. But looks good. Looking forward to Nardin vs Fiziev and Barnett vs Shim additions

 

[Asurah]

Bummer that Ye Ji is out but So Hee is a nice late replacement

 

[leto1776]

Argh, that sucks.

Still hoping they announce at least one more fight for the main card. Only four fights is weak.

 

[kill the virgin]

Why the fuck the lard asses on the main card instead of Erdine vs Fiziev, Young Guns look better than the main card.

It's a XX card, all women main card

Ramona Pascual vs Seo Woo Jin
Both were contestants on ROAD's new reality show, "Fearless Guys". Jin made it to the top 3 and has an amateur win over Jin Hee Kang. Pascual only began full time MMA training when she moved to Korea not long before the show, she was training out of Alberto Mina's gym and fighting in Vuyisile Colossa's IMPI promotion previously. She's Sun Yoo Cheon's non-Yoshiko pro loss.

Saw some clips of Jin from the show on YouTube and IG.

Interesting fight. Glad they added one more.

Edited OP to include updated event poster.

It seems that with fight week, Road FC finally remembered they had an upcoming event, and their YouTube and IG feeds have now interrupted the constant stream of "Fearless Guys" clips with some event promos:



Um, Jinh Yu Frey arrived in Korea yesterday:


Ramona Pascual did an interview with MMA Today:

My Preview. Was hoping to add in some pics of the fighters, but still learning how to edit on my video software.
