Road FC's bad boy Kwon Ah-sol posted an urgent message to fans asking them to be lenient.
On the afternoon of the 22nd, Road FC held a press conference in advance of the 'Gupne Road FC 067' to be held on the 16th of next month at Gallery K at Namsan Tower in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. The event was attended by Road FC President Jung Moon-hong, Yoon Hyung-bin, Kwon Ah-sol, Lee Jung-hyun, and other players who will be competing in the tournament.
At the end of the press conference, Kwon Asol said, "I hope you will look at us generously when criminals such as prostitution and drugs appear on TV."
Kwon, who is competing in the Road FC year-end tournament after last year, will fight Kazuya (Japan) not under the official Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) rules, but under the "Fighter 100" rules, a content he hosts on his YouTube channel. Fighter 100 uses the fast-paced rules of a 100-second fight. There are no takedowns, no submissions, and up to five seconds of ground and pound. 토토
The reason ROAD FC chose to include a Fighter 100 match in the tournament, as opposed to the official MMA rules, was for the "buzz" it would generate. "At least in Road FC, tattooed players or players who look uncomfortable have never gotten into trouble socially," says Jung Moon-hong, president of Road FC. Visuals are not something I can control. It's best to make sure that they don't cause social trouble when they're inside," he said, adding, "With the recent flood of content, it's inevitable to be violent and excessive, and it's become an era where people won't look at it otherwise." That's why he chose Fighter 100 as the tournament card.
To fans who may not like the event, Kwon urges them to "be generous."
Speaking about the 100-second fight, Kwon said, "It's actually content and a practice game. I'm embarrassed to call it a comeback match."
His opponent, Kazuya, said, "I'm a fighter, I'm in the ring. I'll train you properly and beat you up," Kazuya taunted, saying, "I thought I was pretty good when I actually did it, but your punches can't knock me out."
"I don't like the word 'true education,' but this time I'm going to give you true education," he vowed.
