"I'm thinking of playing lightly with Asol and going to UFC."

Hwang In-soo, a middleweight powerhouse who returned to the road FC stage for the first time in two years, expressed his willingness to enter the UFC.

Hwang In-soo attended the official press conference of 'Road FC 072' held at the Swiss Grand Hotel in Hongeun-dong, Seoul on the 26th. The 072 tournament, which will be held at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 16th of next month, has tremendous matches. The heavyweight title match between Kim Tae-in and Sekino Taisei, and the middleweight integrated title match between Hwang In-soo and Lim Dong-hwan will be held. It is a match that makes martial arts fans excited. On top of that, the match between lightweight Park Si-won and Nandin Erdene, who are expected to be in a slugfest, and the flyweight title match between Lee Jung-hyun and Ko Dong-hyuk are also drawing attention. There are three title matches alone.




Among them, the match between Hwang In-soo and Lim Dong-hwan is drawing the most attention. Hwang In-soo returned to the road FC stage for the first time in about two years to play a title defense. After a kickboxing match against Myung Hyun-man, I will meet fans for the first time in a long time.

Hwang In-soo said, `It's been a long time, so I'm excited and happy.' `I prepared hard for the match against Myung Hyun-man, but when the results of my efforts were disparaged, my affection for martial arts cooled down. But rather than getting someone's recognition, I only worked out thinking about how much I could limit myself as an fighter." Hwang In-soo won against Myung Hyun-man at the time by abstaining, which caused a huge aftermath due to the controversy over 'hand rap fouls'.

Opponent Lim Dong-hwan "Finally played against Hwang In-soo. You seem reluctant to play middleweight. If you want to go down to the welterweight division, I will win and drop you down to the welterweight division.' Then, Hwang In-soo "There is no reason to go down like a welter." I will continue to work hard at middleweight. Please prepare hard. I'm looking forward to it, too" returned the counter-argument.




Hwang In-soo said, "I think I'm better than I am, because my skills have recently deteriorated, including no KO wins." A fighter doesn't have to knock out. However, I will knock out the game against Lim Dong-hwan at the end of the third round. Lim Dong-hwan said, `There is a public opinion that I will lose unconditionally, but I won four consecutive games and made four consecutive wins. It motivates you when you're stuck with a stronger person. If I win, I get more. I will win and try to become the light heavyweight champion," he said proudly.

After the match, Hwang In-soo said, `Nothing has been decided. I can play with Asol once. I'm thinking about going to the UFC after this match," he confidently threw his hat into the ring. Hwang In-soo had a main event with Kim Han-seul in front of UFC CEO Dana White at ZEN 02 late last year. However, he did not receive a UFC contract because he did not show impressive performance.
