It will be determined whether the veteran of Road FC will give a proper education or if the debuting newcomer will prove themselves.
Road FC will host the Gubne ROAD FC 073 on June 28 at the Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul, where veteran fighter "The Guillotine" Yoo Jae-nam (38, Road FC Taejang branch) will face off against "Little Stone" Baek Hyun (26, Dia MMA).
Yoo Jae-nam has been active for over 10 years in Road FC, and this match will be Baek Hyun's first competition in Road FC, where he must face a veteran.
From an objective standpoint, Yoo Jae-nam appears to have the advantage, but Baek Hyun's momentum is also formidable. Baek Hyun has noted, "I don't think strategy is necessary at the domestic level right now. I think we need to develop strategies when we face good fighters overseas."
Yoo Jae-nam was angered after seeing Baek Hyun's interview as his comments were demeaning to the efforts of competitors in the same weight class.
Yoo Jae-nam said, "I saw someone making the arrogant statement that strategy might not be necessary at the domestic level. I think that comes from ignorance. I will change that thought with this opportunity. Come in without a strategy as you arrogantly think. No matter what, you will be knocked out."
Regarding this match, he said, "This fight is a very important opportunity for me, and I will prove my skills. I will certainly win and rise to become a contender for the Road FC flyweight championship by taking down my competitors one by one."
Baek Hyun stated, "The experienced veteran seems well-rounded in striking and grappling, but the downside appears to be a bit of a decline in stamina. I will definitely win and prepare in every aspect to win overwhelmingly. Prepare well so we can have a good match."
The showdown between the two fighters at Gubne ROAD FC 073 will be broadcast live on June 28 at 2 p.m. on SPOTV, SOOP, Kakao, and Daum Sports.
