ROAD FC: Korea 2 'Korea vs. Japan' Set for March 9 in Seoul
In South Korea, the most exciting MMA action can only be found at ROAD Fighting Championship. The next epic event will be ROAD FC - KOREA 002 "KOREA VS JAPAN" which takes place on Sunday, 9 March, 2014 at the Grand Hilton Convention Centre in Seoul. At ROAD FC - KOREA 002, Nations Fight! "KOREA VS JAPAN" will introduce more foreign fighters to ROAD FC and Korea. The first two exciting match ups with Japanese fighters announced will be representatives from Pancrase: Kosuke Terashima versus Lee Yoon-Jun, and Kenta Takagi versus Cha Jung-Hwan.
In the first bout announced, Lee Yoon-Jun will welcome Pancrase fighter Kosuke Terashima to the ROAD FC cage at bantamweight. Lee has experience with Japanese fighters, having faced and defeated both Otsuka Takafumi and Kamaya Mokoto in 2013. He is a very well-rounded and technical young fighter from Team ONE at the ROAD FC Official Gym. Lee is becoming one of the most respected fighters in the ROAD FC bantamweight and featherweight divisions.
Kosuke "Coro" Terashima is a Pancrase mainstay fighter. He is a grappler from the very respected Wajutsu Keishukai gym in Japan who has made the transition to fighting in a cage at Pancrase Bayside Fight events. Terashima knocked out his last opponent to prove he has power standing as well as on the ground. This will be a thrilling match between two talented young fighters who want to make their mark in ROAD FC.
In the second bout announced, Cha "Stonecutter" Jung-Hwan will meet Kenta Takagi at welterweight. At ROAD FC 014, Cha's student Choi Mu-Gyeom became the first ROAD FC World Featherweight Champion with a strong display of grappling and striking. Cha has faced two famous opponents, Andrews Nakahara and Luis Ramos, in his last two incredible fights that the judges thought too close and scored as Draws. Cha is extremely hungry to prove he is one of the best welterweights of the world with a win.
Kenta Takagi is an extremely experienced Pancrase fighter who has also fought in Sengoku, Cage Force, and Shooto. He is known for being a very tough striker with 9 KOs to his credit, and he has rarely been finished. Takagi also made the transition to the cage in Pancrase's Bayside Fights, so he will be ready to face Cha in what will be an explosive and powerful match in the very competitive ROAD FC welterweight division.
