They basically follow the unified rules but the fights are scored with unlimited points where each strike is counted as a point,...  Aggression and damage are key criteria.

Cool.  Just as long as it's something different.  I don't like UFC copies.

Anything is better than the 10-point must system.  It doesn't fit well with MMA.  I like the JMMA way of scoring the fight as a whole.

Road Fc Use Unlimited Points System

The scoring criteria at ROAD FC events includes:
A) 1 point awarded for each:

• Clear connecting strike (legal punch, kick, knee)
  
• Successful takedown
  
• Achieving full mount or back mount position
  
• Clear control in ground position
  
• Near submission
  
• Clear aggression
  

B) 5 points awarded for each:

• Clear connecting strike (legal punch, kick, knee) that knocks down opponent
  
• Slam that causes damage
  

C) 5 points deducted for each yellow card penalty (per referee)

• Use or attempted use of an illegal technique
  
• Second strike to the groin, intentional or non-intentional
  
• Deliberate attempt to halt bout
  

D) 2 points deducted for blue card penalty (per referee)

• Deliberate failure to engage in striking
  
• Deliberate stalling in a grounded position by holding

Rules look pretty cool. I like all the penalties for activity. Looks like it will be enforced here. I still cannot understand why the refs. do not enforce the timidity rule under the Unified Rules. There should be warnings, point deductions, and DQs for timidity.

Some promo for the tourney they just released.

ROAD Fighting Championship announces the next match for the International Trials for the $1 Million Lightweight Tournament “Road to A-Sol”: Rodrigo Caporal versus Park Dae-Sung. It will take place at Xiaomi ROAD FC 036 on February 11, 2017 at the Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul, South Korea. 
 
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu maestro Rodrigo Caporal (13-6, Espada MMA, Brazil) is an avid BJJ competitor alongside his MMA career. The RUFF Champion has Worlds gold medals to his credit, as well as being one of the most outstanding competitors based in Asia. Caporal competed in his first ROAD FC for the China Trials for the $1 Million Tournament. He lost by penalty for missed weight, but his dominant performance awarded him another shot. Caporal will be hungry for the chance to fight in front of his huge Korean student-base. 
 
Park Dae-Seong (4-1-0-1, MOB, Korea) fits his “Crazy Dog” moniker very well. He developed through the ROAD FC amateur Into League. Park's first professional opponents were much more experienced, but once he caught his timing, he went on an impressive 4-fight win streak, including his recent split decision over fellow superrookie Kim Kyung-Pyo in a fight of the year contender. Park has methodically put in the work to become a well-rounded and dangerous fighter with a huge gas tank.

Saw that the other day. Really cool promo. Worth watching.

ROAD Fighting Championship is proud to announce more top world talent for the final matches of the International Trials for the $1 Million Lightweight Tournament “Road to A-Sol” on Xiaomi ROAD FC 036 on February 11, 2017 at the Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul, South Korea. 
 
Ronys Torres vs Ermek Tlauov
 
Ronys Torres (33-5, Nova Uniao, Brazil) is the top-ranked fighter in Brazil right now, and his violent finishes put the exclamation point on that. The Shooto Brazil Champion saw UFC action back in 2010, and since went on a massive win streak of 19-1 with a 75% finish rate. 
 
Ermek Tlauov (12-2, Akhmat Asia, Kazakhstan) is the #2 fighter in Kazakhstan. The Tech-Krep Champion is a submission specialist with pinpoint striking that has gotten him a win streak of 10 fights and an 80% finish rate. 
 
 
Gleristone Santos vs Batmunkh Burenzorig
 
Gleristone “Toninho Furia” Santos (32-6, Pitbull Brothers, Brazil) is a stifling Brazilian Jiu Jitsu proponent with a pair of fast, dangerous fists. The Bitteti Combat Champion is one of Brazil's most prolific fighters. Although he experienced back to back split decision losses in his international Bellator entrance, Toninho still can say that the only person to ever KO him was compatriot Patricio “Pitbull” Freire.
 
Batmunkh Burenzorig (7-4, Team Fighter, Mongolia) is the ROAD FC wild card entry, who is also the second ranked pound-for-pound fighter from Mongolia. His wide ranging international experience makes him both brave and respectful of his adversaries, which has led him to achieve sneaky finishes. Batmunkh lost a decision to another ROAD FC Trials fighter, Ermek Tlauov, and no doubt he's itching to avenge that on the way to the finals.


ROAD FC is very humbled that so many world-class talents have signed on to be competing in the International Trials. Therefore, all of the winners in this event will be directly seeded in the 16-man Tournament. As former ROAD FC Lightweight Champion Nam Yui-Chul was given a bye to the second round, the other contestants in April will now be labeled Group B, and those winners will also directly advance.

Road fc is building them selves up even more it is great to see mma in Korea get even bigger .As I said in another post one,Rizin, road working together it would be great for Asian mma .
