Kim Hyun-woo, who finished his military service, won with a finish in his return match, signaling his robustness.
Kim Hyun-woo (22, Team Finish) won the ARC 009-67kg contract weight match at the Vita 500 Coliseum at Lotte World in Jamsil on the 13th with a rear-naked choke in 2:46 of the first round.
Kim Jin-guk was a talented fighter in standing martial arts. With the career of the Korean kickboxing champion and Muay Thai national team, he has turned to mixed martial arts and is taking on a new challenge. The advantage is hitting. He struggled at first because the hits of standing and mixed martial arts were different, ranging from distance to posture, but now he has finished adapting. It also supplemented ground technology, which was pointed out as a weakness. In April, he won against Cha Min-hyuk with a rear-naked choke to prove that ground technology has developed.
Kim Jin-guk is showing confidence in Kim Hyun-woo's lack of experience, which ends in four games. Kim Jin-guk made a leisurely provocation, saying, `Have a happy fist and have a happy dream.'
Kim Hyun-woo was expected to be a different player since he was an amateur player. He won eight games in the Road FC Central League and even signed with Road FC. With strong power in the professional league, he has won three games in a row. He also won the Rookie of the Year award in 2021. It is considered a runner who will lead the next generation of bantamweights by observing both batting and ground.
Kim Hyun-woo lost the only game to Yang Ji-yong. Yang led the game dominant by Yang Ji-yong at the time, but he lost by allowing Guillotine Choke with a moment's carelessness.
Kim Hyun-woo, who joined the military, visited his team, Team Finish, and trained with his teammates every time he went on vacation. I got an offer a week after I was discharged from the military and immediately participated. He is determined to retire Kim Jin-guk and reach the tournament with KO this time.
Kim Hyun-woo's fighting spirit was overflowing from the start of the game. Following the initial high kick, Kim Hyun-woo led the game by showing the power to hug and knock Kim Jin-guk. He then pressed Kim Jin-guk with a fast and accurate hit. After hanging Kim Jin-guk's leg, which was already getting tired in the clinch, he eventually got a tap with a rear-naked choke.
