adminIt is a bold provocation.
Yang Ji-yong (26, Jeju Team The King), who won the 2023 global tournament seeding rights, pointed to ‘Road FC Bantamweight Champion’ Moon Mun-hoon (39, Octagon Multigym) as his opponent in the quarterfinals of the tournament.
Yang Ji-yong won a TKO victory by punch in 1 minute and 47 seconds of the first round against Koki Hirasawa (25, FREE) at Goobne RAOD FC 063 held at Goyang Gymnasium on the 25th. Yang Ji-yong, who has won 7 consecutive wins, is writing a new history as a fighter in Jeju Island.
In a backstage interview, he said, “I’m not particularly happy because it’s a victory I predicted. Since the tournament is my goal, then (if I win) I will be very happy. There is no inspiration now. I am grateful to my teammates and the manager,” he said.
Yang Ji-yong claimed at the ROAD FC 062 press conference that he is the fighter who deserves a title fight. Right after the victory, Yang Ji-yong came down from the cage and wrapped the championship belt of Jeon Mun-hoon, who was sitting at the table, around his waist.
Yang Ji-yong said, “Last year, I was so unfair. I always say this, but last year I was the main character. Jeon Moon-hoon is also a great player, and because he is a senior, I didn’t provoke too much, but I wanted to say that I was the main character last year.”
He also said, “The belt wanted me. He said that he wanted the belt to come to my waist.” Yang Ji-yong, who said, “It is not pride, but self-confidence,” revealed a strong obsession with his championship.
Yang Ji-yong, who defeated numerous strong players in Road FC and Japan’s largest organization Raijin FF, attracted attention by saying that he wanted to compete with Mun Mun-hun in the quarterfinals of the global tournament. He named the champion from the quarterfinals tournament, and many martial arts fans wondered. 메이저놀이터
Yang Ji-yong said, “I hate the word total management. It is meaningful to win by sticking with a strong player unconditionally. To win by sticking with a weak player is no different from losing. In any case, I have to beat Jeon Moon-hun to get the belt, so I will definitely show it in the preliminaries.”
