Road FC and the World Martial Arts Sports Association held the Wonju MMA Sports Festival-Gupne ROAD FC 071 at the Wonju Chiak Gymnasium on the 29th. The main event was the bantamweight tournament final between Kim Soo-chul and Yang Ji-yong.
Yang Ji-yong won the game in 1:02 of the first round. When Kim Soo-chul came in tackle, Yang Ji-yong's punch went in properly, and the subsequent foundation stopped the referee from playing, resulting in a new powerhouse. Kim Soo-chul and Yang Ji-yong shook hands, and Yang Ji-yong wrapped up the award with the champion belt. However, there was a controversy that Kim Soo-chul came to groggy because of the foul of hitting.
Kim Soo-chul filed an objection in accordance with the regulation that allows him to raise an objection to the decision in writing to the Road FC judging committee within 48 hours of the end of the competition. The Road FC judging committee immediately conducted a video review. It was to make the right judgment on the outcome of the game.
Video reading indicates that the RoadFC Board of Appeals believes that "Betting is the deciding factor." and "no-contest processing" delivered the conclusion.
Kim Soo-chul was not shocked by Yang Ji-yong's punch, but hit each other's heads, and Kim Soo-chul was shocked and collapsed.
As a result, Road FC will announce the game as a no-contest and hold a rematch between Kim Soo-chul and Yang Ji-yong in 2025.
However, the schedule has not been finalized. Kim Soo-chul showed signs of concussion and is undergoing treatment, and received a response from medical staff that it takes a week for the CT scan results to come out. Road FC will announce the date of the re-match in consideration of the progress of Kim Soo-chul's recovery.
