Yun Hyung-bin has shown his "true love" for mixed martial arts. Will he leave the "fighter stage" after his match against the "2 million YouTuber" Banz?

Yun Hyung-bin attended the "Goobne ROAD FC 072" press conference held at the Swiss Grand Hotel Emerald Hall in Hong Eun-dong, Seoul, on the afternoon of the 26th of last month. He held the press conference while accepting the challenge from Banz, the "2 million YouTuber," who called him out.

Yun Hyung-bin, who attended alongside Banz, said, "I wasn’t really thinking about the match when Banz called me out, so if he’s ready to risk his YouTube channel, I thought we might as well go for it. Since he said he would compete, there was no reason not to. I have never seen a fighter get offered a fight purse as attractive as this one after almost 20 years in this industry. I want to win this time and show a good result."

Banz noted, "If I didn’t accept the channel deletion challenge, I didn’t think Hyung-bin would be able to fight. I also wanted to show that I am serious about mixed martial arts. During the three-hour drive home, I was a little shaken, but since I let it slip out of my mouth, it became an opportunity to commit to truly risking my life for this fight."

Yun Hyung-bin, who is preparing to become a fighter again, attended with a decision to retire. Yun said, "I actually feel sorry for senior Kim Gook-jin and Lee Kyung-kyu. After watching me get beat up in the last fight, they said I should stop fighting. But after the announcement, I saw senior Kim Gook-jin yesterday during a recording, and it was awkward. I couldn't even look him in the face. I want to apologize and say that I’m sorry to mention that this is my last fight."

When asked by the host, "If the fight purse were doubled, would you do it?" Yun Hyung-bin smiled and said, "Of course. If that opportunity comes, let me know," which brought laughter to the press conference.

Yun Hyung-bin has shown a special affection for mixed martial arts. Will the match against Banz be his pre-retirement fight? The match between Yun Hyung-bin and Banz will take place on June 28 at the Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul.
