Xiaomi ROAD FC 036 official weigh in results

ROAD Fighting Championship announces the official results from the weigh ins for Xiaomi ROAD FC 036 on February 11, 2017 at the Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul, South Korea.

In the full card of 15 matches, only one fighter did not make weight on the first try, and all matches will proceed. Leo Kuntz was over by a mere 150 grams past the allowance on his first try, so the bout will proceed with penalties based on final weigh in.

Additionally, Batmunkh Burenzorig suffered a last minute injury and was replaced in the bout against Toninho Furia. Lee Hyung-Seok moved up from a reserve bout and steeped up against Furia on last-minute notice. In the reserve match, Park Hae-Jin will now face Cho Young-Seung.

The International Trials Group A for the $1 Million Lightweight Tournament are featured on Xiaomi ROAD FC 036, and the main event is former ROAD FC Middleweight Champion facing Kim Nae-Chul to be the next contender for Cha Jung-Hwan's title.

After each face off, the fighters gave their comments, as follows.
