Two of ROAD FC’s best fighters in their respective divisions will take on Pancrase fighters in the first two matches announced. Lee Yoon-Jun, on fire since he gave Takafumi Otsuka a 3-round war, will take on “Coro”, a Wajutsu Keishukai prodigy in his own right. Lee will take this fight at bantamweight, though he also competes in the higher division. Cha Jung-Hwan, a brutal fighter who is probably made even more so for his last two unfortunate draws via the strange ROAD FC judges, will take on knock out artist Kenta Takagi.

More matches will be announced shortly.

ROAD FC vs. Pancrase...I like it.

I'm pulling for ROAD FC in these fights.

Press release:
26 February, 2014 – ROAD Fighting Championship will host the third epic MMA event of 2014 on 9 March! ROAD FC – KOREA 002 “KOREA VS JAPAN” will take place at the Grand Hilton Convention Centre in Seoul, South Korea. Representatives from Japan’s historic 20-year old MMA promotion PANCRASE will be welcomed to South Korea to take on ROAD FC fighters in heart-pounding competition. Among the participants from this cross-cultural exchange, Kosuke Terashima will face Lee Yoon-Jun in the Main Event, Ben Buchan meets Lee Hyung-Seok, and Ryo Takagi will match Han Yi-Moon.

In the Main Event, Lee Yoon-Jun will welcome PANCRASE fighter Kosuke “Coro” Terashima to the ROAD FC cage at bantamweight. Lee faced and defeated strong Japanese fighters Otsuka Takafumi and Kamaya Makoto in 2013 and became a Korean sensation. He is prepared to take on another strong opponent, and this time it will be highly dangerous grappler “Coro”. The PANCRASE fighter knocked out his last opponent, so he will be a threat to Lee in all areas of the game. This will be a thrilling match between two highly-talented young MMA fighters.

In a lightweight match, Lee Hyung-Seok will welcome PANCRASE fighter Ben Buchan to the ROAD FC cage. Lee is a young but seasoned MMA fighter who put on an impressive performance at ROAD FC 014 which proved he is evolving into a well-rounded fighter. Submissions are still his strong suit, which will also suit his PANCRASE opponent. Buchan, a Briton fighting alongside championship contenders at the famous Tsudanuma Dojo, has already faced stiff competition in his short MMA career. This will be his first international fight, and he will bring all his skills into the cage against Lee.
At bantamweight, Han Yi-Moon will welcome PANCRASE fighter Ryo “AKB” Takagi to ROAD FC – KOREA. Han is the Season 2 winner of South Korea’s MMA reality television show “Crying Fist”. At only 20 years old, Han represents the new wave of strong Korean fighters developing in ROAD FC. He is tough, powerful, and riding a 4-fight win streak. Han will need every bit of his training when he takes on Takagi, who at just 22-years old, has never been finished in any fight. Takagi is just as fierce and hungry as Han, which will make this match up one of the most exciting on the card.

In a women’s catchweight bout, Kim Ji-Yeon welcomes Takayo Hashi to South Korea at 58 kg. Kim is a new fighter out of Impact Gym. She made her debut in Japan at DEEP Cage Impact in 2013, and took top fighter “Sugi Rock” Sugiyama to a Draw. When she faces her next opponent, it will be youth versus experience yet again, and her second Japanese in a row. Hashi was the final Middleweight Champion of Japan’s all-female Smackgirl promotion. She has competed internationally against the toughest opponents in her division for several titles, including Strikeforce. The rare female bouts at ROAD FC are always extraordinary.
In the opening fight of the Main Card, two top Korean Teams will go head-to-head as Team Posse’s Brian Choi faces Team MAD’s Heo Yoon. Both fighters have similar stories, since they began their MMA careers overseas then returned to Korea to focus on building their MMA careers. These two exciting fighters are guaranteed to kick off ROAD FC – KOREA 002 with fireworks.

I didn't even know Hashi was still fighting. This is a pleasant surprise.

looks like pancrase smelled the roses and stopped promoting rin and got behind Takayo. Good move.

Nah, seems like Pancrase is.still behind Rin. It'd be different if.they matched the two up, though.

Ji-Yeon the one who got robbed against Sugi?
