Yoon Jun Lee is arguably ROAD's top talent right now, here's his chance to showcase himself against a tough vet with a name. I do wonder if he is permanently moving up to 145, he's the 135 champ but beat the FW champ his last fight and is now fighting there again. Also weird that 2 champs are fighting up in weight in non title affairs (A Sol Kwon is the Lightweight champ).

Card so far:
Main Event: Featherweight Bout
Yoon Jun Lee vs George Roop

Co-Main Event: Openweight bout
A Sol Kwon vs Kiyoshi Kuwabara

Middleweight Bout
Dong Sik Yoon vs Young "Ryo" Choi

69 kg Catchweight Bout
Doo Je Jung vs Bruno Miranda

Strawweight Bout
Emi Fujino vs Yoon Ha Hong

Bantamweight Bout
Mu Song Choi vs Heili Alateng

Yoon is probably best known for getting immediately tossed in against the elite in PRIDE and for his legendary Dongbar. He was also known for beating numerous Olympic and World champs in Judo despite never competing in the Olympics himself. He beat Tarec Saffiedine in DREAM back in 2009 and then disappeared until 2013. He's had a decent career resurgence in his 40's, 4-1 since returning with wins over Daiju Takase and former UFC vet Amilcar Alves.
Young Choi, also simply known as RYO, is the current DEEP Middleweight champ and was one of the first Korean fighters to make a splash internationally. He has wins over former King of Pancrase Takenori Sato, former 2-division DEEP champ Yoshiyuki Nakanishi, and an ammy win over Dong Hyun Kim (Stun Gun one).

Doo Je Jung was one of the earliest Korean fighters, he got into the game with only a background in gymnastics which resulted in a pretty ugly record. I wouldn't call him a good fighter by any means but he has some power and is capable of 1 punch knockouts.
Miranda has been MIA for 2 years but is 2-0 in ROAD, including a KO win over former ROAD title challenger and former Spirit MC champ, Kwang Hee Lee.

Fujino has now been booked for ROAD twice and both times scheduled to face a debuting Korean. She nearly lost to the last one she fought. She's a well respected veteran though and helps deepen the card.
Hong has BJJ and kickboxing backgrounds.

Song is someone that ROAD was starting to push as a prospect but he suffered a setback in a very close split decision loss to the now 8-0 Zhikang Zhao.
Heili Alateng has been on a bit of a roll, he is riding a 5 fight win streak with his last loss being a competitive decision to former ROAD champ Nam Jin Jo. It hasn't been against great competition but he has beaten a few decent regional guys in that streak. He's still very wrestling oriented in his style but has started to pick up on some other skills.

Roop taking the L and throwing a cheap shot. Hopefully Yoon Jun Lee kicks his legs in.

Also Dool Hee Lee pulled out, Kiyoshi Kuwabara (2-1, 1-1 in ROAD and has fought from Welterweight to Light Heavyweight) steps in against A Sol Kwon on 4 days notice. Still an Open Weight bout and Kwon is giving up a bit of weight still. Lee vs Roop promoted to main event.
