Alateng returns after a fresh first round KO victory at ROAD FC 046, on top of an amazing 6-fight run that saw him match Jo Nam-Jin for the contender's spot. Kwak is finally returning to ROAD FC after his mandatory military service, before which he was seen as a hot prospect to watch develop.
Alateng and Kwak both have very aggressive and action-packed styles, so this surprise match for Part 1 of ROAD FC 047 is sure to delight the entire audience!
On Part 1, the women's bantamweight match between Ramona Pascual and Marina Kumagai has changed. Pascual has unfortunately sustained a knee injury in training and will be unable to compete. Jing Yingchao (3-1, Zhongyuan Fight Club) steps in as the late notice replacement. Jing is the 2012 Freestyle Wrestling China National Champion, and multiple times Jilin province champion. In the last 2 years she's begun her MMA career with wins in Dacheng Wuyi and Bullets Fly.
ROAD FC wishes Ramona Pascual a complete and speedy recovery.
