The ninth instalment of the South Korea-based organization went down on Saturday, at the Wonju Chiak Gymnasium.
Titled ROAD FC 009: Beatdown, the event’s main attraction featured a Middleweight bout between Strikeforce veteran Melvin Manhoef and Kim Jae Yeong. The South Korean showed lots of heart and a granite chin, but it wasn’t enough to convince the judges to award him the final decision. Manhoef, who was winless in his last 4 outings, finally gets his career back on track.
In the co-Main event, Japanese superstar Minowaman recorded the 54th win of his professional MMA career following his submission victory of Jin Soo Yuk.
Meanwhile, in the 1st leg of the Lightweight tournament, Lee Yong Jae, Vuyisile Colossa, Kume Takaske and Nam Yui Chul recorded wins over their respective opponents and have advanced to the next round.
