Prior to the tournament, Road FC announced two matches on its official YouTube channel, with matchmakers Kim Dong-wook and Kim Tae-hoon.
The Bantamweight Tournament quarter-final match between Yang Ji-yong (28, Jeju Team The King) and Alexei Indenko (34, MFP) saw Alexei Indenko beat Yang Ji-yong "I don't know the name, but there is a player who lost to Kyrgyz player Rajabal in last year's tournament. I want to meet him," he said. Yang Ji-yong "The XX called me in response to Alexei Indenko's comment. You just have to think that you're going to fight me in the quarterfinals. Let's play the game that everyone wants with a manly and passionate batting."
The fighter who wins the match between Yang Ji-yong and Alexey Indenko will advance to the semifinals.
The next game released is a middleweight match between 「Hwang In-soo Sniper」Yoon Tae-young (28, Jeju Team The King) and"Steel Bundle"Yim Dong-hwan (29, Team Strong Wolf). The two fighters, who have provoked Hwang In-soo (30), have come to provoke each other, saying they have to fight Hwang In-soo. As Hwang In-soo did not answer, the two fighters eventually faced off first.
Yoon Tae-young said, "(Im) Dong-hwan, isn't it time to retire as a middle-class civil servant. Stop putting it down now and I'll catch you in the middleweights, so you retire."
When Yoon Tae-young said, Lim Dong-hwan responded, "(Yoon) Tae-young, you keep telling me to retire, but I'm not going to retire yet, I'm only going to play, so stop talking about retirement."
