Young powerhouses Cho Young-Seung (5-0, Apgujeong Gym) and Jang Dae-Young (2-1, Von Jiujitsu) will face each other in the Main Event. Cho has been away from the cage and focusing on honing his skills, while Jang was recovering from a broken hand.

Yang Junkai (2-1, Guangdong Rong Yue Boji Lei Yu) and Jang Ik-Hwan (3-1, Team Posse) will meet in a catchweight match. Both are riding 2-fight win streaks, so expect these up and comers to bring their striking A games.

Stuart Gooch (1-3, Kim Dae-Hwan MMA) and Choi Won-Jun (1-1, Seodaemun Geusang Dojang) meet at welterweight to start off the show with a hard-hitting bang. Gooch has a wealth of experience in England’s EFC, and Choi will look to keep up his momentum with a third fight in 2016.
