Road FC bantamweight's top striker 'Jeju Jjang' Yang Ji-yong (29, Jeju Team The King) is going on a trip to Japan.
Yang Ji-yong will compete in Super Rizin 4, held on July 27 at the Saitama Super Arena in Tokyo, Japan, facing Japan's Ando Tatsuya (35) in the -61kg bantamweight category.
Yang Ji-yong is a representative striker of Road FC bantamweight. As a left-handed player, his kicks and left straight punches are the best weapons. Although he is not tall, his speed when attacking is fast, and his punching power is good, making it common for opponents hit by Yang Ji-yong's punches to fall.
Yang Ji-yong, affiliated with Road FC, has consistently competed in Japan's largest organization, Rizin Fighting Federation (Rizin FF), gaining recognition for his skills in Japan. He also participated in the first Korean event of Rizin FF held on May 31, achieving a spectacular KO victory that garnered much applause from Japanese fans.
The fighter Yang Ji-yong will face this time is Ando Tatsuya. He has a record of 15 wins, 4 losses, and 1 draw, with 12 of his 15 wins coming by finish, indicating a low percentage of decision victories. He has strong punching power and can also make his opponents tap out with submissions, making him a tricky adversary.
Despite facing a challenging opponent, Yang Ji-yong is confident. He plans to utilize his specialty in striking to knock out his opponent.
Yang Ji-yong said, "I will come and be Yang Ji-yong," conveying his short but resolute determination to knock out his opponent.
Meanwhile, at Super Rizin 4, where Yang Ji-yong will participate, Shin Yoo-jin (21, Songtan MMA), also from Road FC, will fight for the super atomweight title against Interest Iza (28). Although she lacks experience compared to her opponent, who has a record of 15 wins without a loss, Shin Yoo-jin, with a record of 5 wins and no losses, has been exceeding expectations in real matches, gaining a lot of anticipation.
