Young Guns 37

Featherweight Match

Evgeniy Ryazanov (17-11, MFP) vs Min Kyeong-Chul (4-1, Team Poma)

As the main event of Young Guns 37, style versus style takes center stage. Evgeniy Ryazanov is a technical sniper and acrobatic kicker, while Min Kyeong-Chul prefers to get in the pocket and throw bombs.

Women's Atomweight Match

Hong Yun-Ha (0-4, Von Jiujitsu Songtan) vs Jeon Sul-Gi (0-2, Gumi MMA)

Female fighters have a hill to climb when starting their careers; Hong Yun-Ha and Jeon Sul-Gi are examples of this. Both women are hunting for their first professional win. Hong hails from a jiujitsu powerhouse team, while Jeon comes from stand-up league Max FC and was on the 2012 National Sanda team.

Flyweight Match

Kim Tae-Kyun (2-3, Team Finish) vs Jeong Won-Hee (2-1, Ssen Gym)

Kim Tae-Kyun versus Jeong Won-Hee pits two punchers against each other who both like to stand and bang. Neither fighter knows how to back up, and they both prefer to keep it standing, so fans will enjoy a fast-paced brawl.

Middleweight Match

Hwang In-Su (1-0) vs Zdenek Polivka (0-2, Junior MMA Nymburk)

Hwang In-Su versus Zdenek Polivka features two rookies in the sport against each other. 22-year old Hwang is fresh off his first fight and victory, while 19-year old Polivka is barreled through an amateur year and is seeking his first pro win. These aggressive youngsters will be exciting.

Flyweight Match

Go Gi-Won (0-2, Ssabi MMA) vs Ko Dong-Hyuk (0-2, Strong Wolf)

Gi-Won has had two pro fights and shown off very good ground positioning and striking. Dong-Hyuk spent two years in the ROAD FC amateur leagues, and he's developed a good skillset. Both have yet to get their first pro win, proving that starting pro MMA in Korea is tough, so look for amazing performances out of these two rookies.

Openweight Match

Choi Won-Jun (3-2, MMA Story) vs Yoon Jae-Woong (1-3, Ssen Gym)

Choi Won-Jun and Yoon Jae-Woong are willing to forget the weight cut and focus on turning around their records. Choi has a Taekwondo base and Yoon has a boxing record, which will make for a nice slugfest as these two attempt to rebound.

Featherweight Match

Min Kyung-Min (1-0, Team Fighter) vs Kim Tae-Sung (debut, Ssabi MMA)

Min Kyung-Min started MMA in 2014 with a kickboxing base and has been busy in the ROAD FC amateur leagues, and Kim Tae-Sung is 6-1 in the amateur Central League. This is recognized more as a pro debut for both youngsters, which will pit striker against grappler.

Xiaomi ROAD FC 043

In the main event, Choi Young versus Kim Hoon for the ROAD FC Interim Middleweight Championship is the culmination of Korean MMA pride from the very beginning to the current pinnacle of popularity and skill. This match is guaranteed to deliver thrills from both fighters - 12 years after they both first stepped foot in an MMA ring!

Also, former ROAD FC Bantamweight Champion Lee Kil-Woo returns after hiatus from the cage to face The Outsider Champion Asakura Mikuru at featherweight. And another former ROAD FC Champion, Nam Yui-Chul, will face fellow Korea MMA warhorse Jung Doo-Jae.
