ROAD FC Signs Dong-Sik Yoon, to Debut July 26 at ROAD FC 16


During Japan's heyday of Mixed Martial Arts, Yoon Dong-Sik (41, Team YOON) was a premier Korean fighter known as the "Armbar King", whose signature move was called the "Dongbar". Yoon has now contracted to fight with ROAD Fighting Championship.

Yoon was a multiple international Gold Medalist in Judo and a Bronze Medalist at the World Championships before he transitioned to Mixed Martial Arts. He made his debut in PRIDE alongside the world's best Middleweights, and fought some of the best Light Heavy and Heavyweights, such as Sakuraba, Melvin Manhoef, Rampage Jackson, and Murilo Bustamante.

Yoon made his successful return to MMA last year, bringing his winning streak to three in a row. Now he will continue his comeback in ROAD FC 016 in July in Gumi, South Korea. His opponent will be one of Asia's strongest Middleweights and is currently in negotiations. ROAD FC's Middleweight Champion Lee Eun-Su has been sidelined with an injury for a long time. Yoon's introduction will give the division a very exciting boost.

Meanwhile, ROAD FC 015 takes place this coming Saturday, 31 May, at the Chiak Stadium in Wonju, South Korea. The Main Event is a highly anticipated rematch between two of the best Featherweights Seo Doo-Hwan and Joachim Hansen. Also featured: UFC veteran Issei Tamura will meet former ONE FC Champion Kim Soo-Chul, and Park Jung-Kyo will take on the inimitable Minowaman.

Bruno Miranda vs. Lee Kwang-Hee Set for ROAD FC 16 in July


The latest exciting match booked for ROAD FC 016 is Bruno "Robusto" Miranda versus "Crazy" Lee Kwang-Hee. As the Main Event, Jo Nam-Jin and Song Min-Jong will contest for the ROAD FC Flyweight Championship, and PRIDE fighter Yoon Dong-Sik will make his ROAD FC debut against UFC vet Riki Fukuda.

Bruno Miranda (6-1) is a young and exciting fighter from the Carlson Gracie Team in Brazil. He first joined us for ROAD FC - KOREA 3: Korea versus Brazil where he stunningly knocked out Kim Won-Gi. Miranda is ready to face an even stiffer challenge in Lee to prove he is a true prospect.

Lee Kwang-Hee (6-3-1) is one of the heroes of early Korean MMA. In Spirit MC, he knocked out Kwon A-Sol (twice) and soccer kicked Kang Kyung-Ho to win the Spirit MC Lightweight Championship. After fighting in Sengoku, Gladiator, and DEEP in Japan, Lee finally returns to Korea and will assuredly put on another thrilling performance like those which gave him the name "Crazy".

As previously announced, the Main Event will be the Flyweight Championship between two of Korea's most outstanding young prospects, Jo "Drunken Monkey" Nam-Jin and Song "Running Man" Min-Jong.

Also on the Main Card, PRIDE veteran and Gold Medal Judoka Yoon Dong-Sik will face international Japanese superstar Riki Fukuda. The remaining Main Card matches and the card for Young Guns 015 will be announced shortly.
