Myung Hyeon-man (38) and Kwon Ah-sol (36), who have become enemies over the past three years by exchanging criticisms through SNS and YouTube, face each other directly.
Jeong Moon-hong, CEO of Road FC, officially announced the match between the two at a press conference held at N Seoul Tower Gallery K, Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 30th.
CEO Jeong Moon-hong said, “Myung Hyeon-man and Kwon Ah-sol decided to spar close to the match this week. The match method is 3 minutes, 2 rounds, and it is played without overtime as a mixed martial arts rule,” he explained.
Myung Hyeon-man has maintained the position of the strongest Korean standing heavyweight for a long time. He also debuted in mixed martial arts and has experience facing world powerhouses such as Mirko Cro Cop and Mighty Mo. Kwon Ah-sol is the former ROAD FC lightweight champion. Because of his rough talk and unpredictable behavior, he has the nickname ‘Bad Boy’.
There is a long story about how Myeong Hyeon-man and Kwon Ah-sol became embroiled in red-faced enmity. Kwon A-sol blatantly criticized Myung-hyeon for uploading a video of him sparring with an ordinary person on his YouTube channel, and only Myung-hyeon refuted it.
In addition, Kwon Ah-sol claimed that only Myung-hyeon, who ran the gym together, suddenly betrayed him one day. In response, Myung Hyeon-man expressed his uncomfortable feeling, saying, “I have not betrayed or harmed anyone.”
Such a conflict lasted for 3 years and recently rose to the surface through an SBS entertainment program called ‘Hell’s Court’. In the end, this time, like a martial arts player, the match was decided through sparring.
Myung Hyeon-man is a heavyweight athlete who usually weighs close to 120kg. On the other hand, Kwon Ah-sol usually weighs about 90kg and plays in the 70kg class. Under normal circumstances, the game is impossible. However, the confrontation was concluded because it was an unofficial sparring by prior agreement between the two players.스포츠토토
Kwon Ah-sol said, “There is a difference in weight and I am not ignorant of Myung-hyun’s power, so I chose the MMA fighting method that I do best.” Even after the sparring is over, I will continue to say what I have to say.”
Myung Hyeon-man said, “Kwon Ah-sol is a bad boy and can’t talk well.” I want to look into Kwon Ah-sol’s inner mind.”
In addition, Myung Hyeon-man will engage in a standing punching match with Road FC middleweight champion Hwang In-soo (29), who challenged him after sparring with Kwon Ah-sol.
Representative Jeong Moon-hong explained, “The match between Myung Hyeon-man and Hwang In-soo will be held at the Goyang Indoor Gymnasium at 4:00 pm on February 25th.”
Initially, Hwang In-soo requested 3 rounds of 5 minutes. Myung Hyeon-man insisted on the 3rd round in 3 minutes. However, in the end, both sides conceded one shot at a time and an agreement was reached with three rounds of four minutes. An extra round will also be played for the final match.
The difference in weight class between the two is also significant. Hwang In-soo is a middleweight athlete with a weight limit of 84kg. In addition, he fights with standing striker rules, not his main event, MMA.
Although he is at a disadvantage in all respects, including the weight class and the way he plays, Hwang In-soo is confident. He said out loud, “I don’t think I’ll ever lose to Myeong-hyeon.”
Conversely, even if he wins, Myeong-hyeon-man, who is the main match, said, “I don’t think Hwang In-soo has ever played with a really strong player.” The result is that I will win unconditionally.”
