Xiaomi ROAD FC 039 adds openweight match between Shim Yoon-Jae and Kim Chang-Hee

ROAD Fighting Championship announces the first match of Xiaomi ROAD FC 039 will be an openweight match between Shim Yoon-Jae and Kim Chang-Hee on June 10, 2017 in the Jangchung Arena in Seoul, South Korea.

Shim Yoon-Jae (2-2, Kim Dae Hwan MMA), formerly known as Shim Gun-Oh, is a notable wrestler who decided to transition to MMA by trying out for the reality MMA show “Crying Fist”. ROAD FC CEO was impressed by the natural talent right away and signed him to a professional contract. Shim was KOed in quick fashion by heavy-handed Carlos Toyota, but he returned with a grueling decision victory over China national team wrestler Hou Zhenlin.

Kim Chang-Hee (1-3, independent) is a kickboxer who has tried his hands at MMA in the past. He faced and lost to mammoths of the sport, Minowa Man and Seigo Mizuguchi. Seeing the openweight division in ROAD FC get deeper has given him the impetus to return to the cage. Kim has 30 kickboxing matches to his credit in WAKO and Max FC.
