THE MMA Traditional Japan-Korea Match: Daichi Abe vs. Tae-Young Yoon
| MMA Rules / 5 minutes × 3 Rounds / 83 kg Contract | ||
| Daichi Abe (MMA / Japan) | X | Tae-Young Yoon (MMA / South Korea) |
Daichi Abe (Japan)
I received the offer the day after my last match, and although it’s a short two-week notice before the fight, I’m excited to be able to compete because I’ve decided to accept any challenge at any time! I’ve heard that this will be the only MMA match in the cage for this event, so I hope those who come will get to understand the excitement of MMA! My impression of my Korean opponent is that Korean fighters are physically strong, and like me, he is a striker, so I think it will be an interesting match-up! It’s always about doing or being done, so I’m going to hunt for the knockout! I want to show an aggressive fight as a constant challenger.
Tae-Young Yoon (South Korea)
I’m Tae-Young Yoon, a fighter from Team The King and ROAD FC. I’ve heard that excellent organizations like K-1 and RIZIN will be participating in this tournament. I’m very happy to be part of this event. My style is kickboxing. I have long limbs and various striking options. This time, I intend to actively use different techniques. I don’t plan to leave it to the judges; I will finish it with a KO or submission. Since this will be broadcast live worldwide, I want to show the fight fans around the world a match they won’t forget, featuring my name, Tea Young Yoon. I’ll do my best to have an intense fight and ensure that everyone remembers the name of the Korean fighter, Tae-Young Yoon. Thank you.
