ROAD Fighting Championship announces the next numbered event for 10 May, 2014 in Wonju, South Korea. ROAD FC 015 will charge out with Seo Doo-Won versus Joachim Hansen 2: The Epic Rematch. Almost exactly one year before this event, Korean Pitbull met Hellboy in the ROAD FC cage for the first time. The match became an instant classic, with Seo almost KOing Hansen in the first, then Hansen coming back to submit Seo in the second. Who will be the victor in the rematch? The fans will be the winners in this exciting bout between two of Asian MMA's most thrilling featherweights.

ROAD FC 015 fulfills the fans desire for ultimate action with a match up between one of Korea's hottest bantamweights, Kim Soo-Chul, and UFC veteran Issei Tamura. Kim beat his way through the ranks to claim the ONE FC Bantamweight Title, and then in a rough 5-rounder relinquished it to Bibiano Fernandes. He got back on the fast track to stardom with a monumental win over strongman Tezuka Motonobu. Now he'll face another great wrestler who is also a knock out artist, Issei Tamura. Tamura matched the best of the best in Shooto with multiple KOs before getting a shot in the UFC. Continuing to face many stiff opponents, including recent ROAD FC Bantamweight contender Song Min-Jong, Tamura's career has been on a bit of a seesaw. The standout grappler still has Krazy Bee KO power and he'll look to load that into the chamber for his next match with Kim in ROAD FC 015.

The legend of MMA Ikuhisa Minowa returns to ROAD FC to face another hungry Korean adversary in Park Jung-Kyo. The Minowaman is coming off his historic 100th fight in ROAD FC where he KOed the KO machine Kim Hoon, and ended his most recent fight - and his opponent's leg - by a terrifying lateral knee bar. Facing this daunting prospect will be a man with no fear of names, Park Jung-Kyo. Park has faced some of the best Korean and Japanese fighters across two divisions in his MMA career. When he steps in the cage with Minowaman, fans know that in ROAD FC, anything can happen.

ROAD FC is proud to have Japanese world superstar Riki Fukuda make his second ROAD FC appearance against wild man Son Hye-Seok. Fukuda has delivered some of the nastiest wars in the business. After his controversial dismissal from the UFC, he signed to ROAD FC and punched his way back through Kim Hee-Seung. Fukuda has his next opponent in short order, Son Hye-Soek. Son has faced very threatening opponents before, and claims a huge knockout of Minowaman as the most recent notch on his record. He's a fighter with plenty of go and aggression in the tank. Once these middleweight wrecking machines collide, this will be a fight that ends in seconds, not in rounds.
