Comedian Yoon Hyung-bin and mukbang YouTuber Banzz will face off today (28th) in a mixed martial arts ring.
Road FC will hold 'Gobbne ROAD FC 073' at 2 p.m. at the Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul.
The match between Yoon Hyung-bin and Banzz will take place as the final match of the second half of the tournament as a special event match, and will be held in the '-79kg weight class.' In consideration of the fact that neither of them are professional athletes, a special rule will apply that prohibits elbow strikes.
Yoon Hyung-bin gained recognition as a mixed martial artist after winning a match against a Japanese athlete in 2014. He subsequently won his comeback match in Japan in May 2023, but lost in a Road FC match in December of the same year, currently holding a record of 2 fights and 1 win.
He has lost over 11 kg through diet control and training for this match, weighing in at -78.5 kg. He stated, "I have prepared in terms of striking, grappling, and physical conditioning. I will repay with a match without regrets."
Banzz also passed the weigh-in and expressed his determination, stating, "I could fight right now." He is a former judo athlete, having practiced judo for three years in middle school, and he is currently a popular YouTuber with 2.04 million subscribers.
This match was arranged at Banzz's request, and it has gained more attention due to the condition that he would delete his YouTube channel if he loses.
The match between the two will be broadcast live through SPOTV, SOOP, Kakao, and Daum Sports.
