XIAOMI ROAD FC 042 ANNOUNCEMENT

MIDDLEWEIGHT MATCH KIM EUN-SOO VS KIM DAE-SUNG

 

 

 

For immediate release, August 7, 2017 - ROAD Fighting Championship announces another match for Xiaomi ROAD FC 042 on September 23: Kim Eun-Soo versus Kim Dae-Sung. Xiaomi ROAD FC 042 will be held during the Chungju World Martial Arts Festival in Chungju, South Korea at the Chungju World Martial Arts Festival Stadium.

 

Kim Eun-Soo (7-4, Team Roots) has a perfect finish rate in his win column with all but one of them coming by way of knockout. He has a granite chin and has never been on the receiving end of a knockout himself. Kim Eun-Soo now returns to the ROAD FC cage for the first time in five years, since his promotional debut in 2012.

 

Kim Dae-Sung (4-4, Team Crows) is a brutal brawler coming off back to back wins that turned a losing streak around in a big way. At ROAD FC 034 in China, he finished off champion Strongman Zhang Jianjun with a first round choke, and then knocked out Kuwabara Kiyoshi, the man who upset Lightweight Champion Kwon A-Sol with a lightning KO of his own.

 

Kim Eun-Soo and Kim Dae-Sung both have a penchant for getting into first round collisions, so this match up should be a real banger, if even only for a minute.

A Pride-era throwback is set between two legends of the sports: Minowa Man vs Yoon Dong-Sik. The prowrestler and the standout Judoka will clash at middleweight. An Openweight rematch between Kim Chang-Hee and Shim Gun-Oh is set after an unfortunate accident stopped their first match too early. Now the brawling big men are eager to get back into the cage and show off kickboxing versus wrestling. Also, breakout fierce young fighter Park Jung-Eun and ROAD FC Women's Atomweight Champion Ham Seo-Hee's teammate Park Si-Woo will make for a thrilling match in a battle of the hot prospects.
