Kume vs. Kwon Set for ROAD FC 17 on July 26 in South Korea


At ROAD FC 017 Kume Takasuke and Kwon A-Sol will fight for the Lightweight Championship. Also, Lee Yun-Jun to face Thiago Luis Silva, and Song Ga-Yeon makes her MMA debut versus Emi Yamamoto.


ROAD FC Lightweight Championship: Kume Takasuke versus Kwon A-Sol

Kume Takasuke rose to the top of the Lightweight division by defeating everyone in his path with quick submissions - until he met Nam Yui-Chul in the Finals of the Lightweight Tournament. A legendary 3-round battle ensued, and it was so close that the judges called for an overtime. Nam was triumphant on that day, but Kume was so brilliant that an immediate title challenge was granted him.

The second Championship match was another blowout, and while Kume showed his developing wrestling prowess, Nam won the outcome again. It was the first pair of losses on Kume's record in almost four years. He rebounded with a dominant performance over Brazilian black belt Eduardo Simoes in which he showed a wrestling game remarkably resemblant to Nam's.

Now Kume will once again get his rightful shot at the ROAD FC Lightweight strap which has been vacated by Nam following his departure to Ultimate Fighting Championship. Standing in his way is another tough home-grown slugger with an impressive resume, Kwon A-Sol.

Kwon notched up wins over international opponents throughout seven years in the sport in Spirit MC, Legend FC, HEAT, Gladiator, and Sengoku. Following his mandatory military break, the controversial fighter returned to ROAD FC and was felled with a head kick by Koji Nakamura which might have stopped his career cold.

Kwon proved that he is as tough as his own claims. He immediately returned to the cage and rebounded with back-to-back finishes of Muay Thai Champion Mostafa Abdollahi and top-ranked Brazilian Giovanni Diniz.

Kwon's shot at the title against Kume promises to bring a lot of talk and speculation from ROAD FC fans, as well as from the outspoken Kwon himself. But in the cage, it will be fireworks from the opening bell!


Lee Yun-Jun vs Thiago Silva, Song Ga-Yeon vs Emi Yamamoto

At ROAD FC 017 in Seoul, outstanding fighter Lee Yun-Jun will face incredibly durable Brazilian Thiago Silva. Lee has consistently impressed with his performances and showed an ever-improving strategy which thrills ROAD FC fans. Silva gained fans of his own when he came form behind in his ROAD FC debut to choke out Moon Jae-Hoon in the final minutes. This match up is guaranteed to be an emotional roller coaster of excitement!

Also as previously announced for ROAD FC 017, 19-year old sensational kickboxing beauty Song Ga-Yeon will be making her MMA debut alongside fellow beautiful newcomer Emi Yamamoto. Song's strength in stand up has been tempered with her grappling training at the Official ROAD FC Gym, and she will look to use it against Yamamoto who already has amateur MMA experience from Japan. Emi's six years in traditional Kendo give her a very unique stylistic background. These two young ladies will bring deadly beauty into the ROAD FC Cage on 17 August, 2014!
