360 GAME presents ROAD FC 025 will take place on 22 August, 2015 in Wonju, South Korea. The Full Main Card is now open.  
 
As previously announced, the Main Event will be two ROAD FC Champions colliding at featherweight as Featherweight Champion Choi Mu-Gyeom faces Bantamweight Champion Lee Yun-Jun.
  
Top ROAD FC Bantamweight Kim Soo-Chul is getting quickly back into action against the legendary Marlon Sandro. Kim just took on one of Japan's best in Taiyo Nakahara, and he walked away with a beautiful guillotine finish. Now he will move to featherweight for Sandro, the former Sengoku Champion and Bellator veteran. Both fighters possess ground and striking skills, so this will surely be a thriller!
      
China's Dong Xin will make his debut with ROAD FC against Kim Nae-Chul. Dong was picked for the UFC's “The Ultimate Fighter: China” where he looked to be the most dominant of the welterweights, but was unfortunately eliminated due to injury. Kim is on a 2-fight streak of excellent wins over strikers Ryuta Noji and Yoo Yang-Rae. Both fighters have heavy hands, so don't blink!
      
Well known Korean fighter Kim Seok-Mo will look to build momentum from his last comeback win that turned around his career. Kim will take on ROAD FC newcomer Onur Teker from Turkey's top Team Kazgan, whose Kaan Kazgan made himself well-known with his surprise submission finish.
  
Shooto Pacific Rim Featherweight Champion Yuta Nezu will be the next in a long line of Champions who have competed in ROAD FC. He is on a massive 7-fight win streak and known for his deadly arsenal of kicks. Stepping up to the challenge will be rookie Park Hyung-Geun, whose aggression barreled through heavy favorite Han Yi-Moon's full compliment of weapons and resulted in a KO win.
  
Coming back to ROAD FC is one of Japan's hottest up and coming female fighters, Satomi “Sarami” Takano. She will look to rebound from a loos in the DEEP Jewels Featherweight Tournament Final. Meeting her will be hot ROAD FC Rookie Park Jeong-Eun, who made her debut by going a full 2 rounds with living legend Emi Fujino.
  
The Main Card opening fight will be Well-known K-1 and RISE kickboxer Kwon Min-Seok who is transitioning to MMA. He will face China's Yong Shun who is a rising rookie competing in CCTV's televised MMA tournament “CKF”.
