As ROAD Fighting Championship gears up for October 12th with its 13th installment, the fight card for the event is starting to take shape now with the addition of two bouts.
Minowaman (59-35-8) takes on Kim Hoon (9-9-1, 1 NC) at Middleweight, while former UFC vet Riki Fukuda (19-7) meets Kim Hee Seung (6-1).
The South Korea-based promotion announced the match-ups via the Facebook medium.
ROAD FC announces 2 additional bouts for ROAD FC 013
Making his 3rd appearance under the ROAD FC banner, Japanese MMA staple Minowaman brings a resume of over 100 professional MMA bouts. The 37-year-old’s storied MMA career has spanned across numerous promotions, most notably DREAM, PRIDE and the UFC.
Kim Hoon, in the meantime, is a former Legend FC and Pancrase veteran who’s currently on a 2-3 run in his past five bouts. Having faced the likes of Rodney MacSwain and the UFC’s Robert Whittaker, the South Korean will be hoping to use that high-level experience when he makes his promotional ROAD FC debut.
This will be Riki Fukuda’s first bout following his five fight stint with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Having seen mixed success in the octagon, Fukuda’s becomes one of ROAD FC’s most prominent signings of the summer, as he joins the likes of Issei Tamura on the roster.
He will be welcomed to the promotion by Kim Seung Hee, a Team Posse native who’s garnered two victories in ROAD FC thus far. Facing Fukuda will be a big step-up in competition for the 25-year-old, as he looks to make it three wins on the trot.
ROAD FC 013 takes place October 12th at the J.H Park Stadium in Gumi, South Korea. The event is set to be headlined by a ROAD FC Lightweight championship bout pitting Nam Yui-Chul against Kume Takasuke.
