WFSO (Chairman Moon Jung-hong) announced in a press release on the 16th that WFSO and the Korea MMA Federation (Chairman Oh Jun-hyuk), which were integrated in 2023, will separate from 2025 and operate independently.
Chairman Moon Jung-hong merged WFSO and UKC (UNITED KOREA COMBAT) in 2023 and named it the Korea MMA Federation and was elected as the first president of the Korea MMA Federation. As chairman of the Korea MMA Federation, Chung has been steadily participating in the Asian Championships of the Asia MMA Federation (AMMA), a direct organization of the OCA (Asia Olympic Council), which organizes the Asian Games by investing all the capabilities of Road FC for more than two years.
Participation in international competitions also served as a stepping stone to improve the ability of Korean players and referees. National players and referees of the Korean MMA Federation have gained a lot of experience and have been recognized for their skills in international competitions.
Despite his busy overseas schedule, Chairman Chung has also led the membership of the sports association of local governments across the country in order to join the Korean Sports Association.
After two years in office, Chairman Chung decided to break up with the Korean MMA Federation, which has a different direction to move forward, and to take their own paths, cheering for the future of the Korean MMA Federation. This is a choice to speed up WFSO's membership in the Korean Sports Council as the Korean MMA Federation's membership in 2024 failed. Currently, WFSO is moving quickly and is working on joining the Korean Sports Council in 2025.
Chairman Moon Jung-hong plans to continue his relationship with AMMA based on Road FC's international credibility, so he will not stop trying to adopt the Asian Games official event of mixed martial arts by strengthening WFSO in the future. We will continue to communicate and cooperate with AMMA Chairman Gordon Tang and accelerate the selection of the Asian Games official event for mixed martial arts.
