The main event of the Gupne ROAD FC 072, held at Jangchung Gymnasium on the 16th, has been dramatically decided.

On the evening of the 14th, ROAD FC announced that "Kim Tae-in was scheduled to participate in Gupne ROAD FC 072, which will be held at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 16th. However, due to a sudden knee injury, the participation has ultimately been canceled."

A variable arose just two days before the tournament. Moreover, it was for the main event match. Kim Tae-in sustained a knee injury during training. The knee twisted to the point of making sounds, and he headed directly to the hospital, where they reported, "An MRI showed signs of a rupture of the medial collateral ligament."

"Pain, instability, reduced joint range of motion, and muscle weakness were observed during exercise. Given the current condition, it is believed that vigorous exercise and weight-bearing activities are not feasible. It is expected that a period of four weeks of treatment and rest will be necessary."

The weigh-in took place on the 15th, and the athletes were weighed in turn. Replacing the 'youngest champion of ROAD FC', Park Si-won (23, Diamond MMA), 'Jeju Jjang' Yang Ji-yong (29, Jeju Team The King) also completed the weigh-in against Nandin Erden (38, Jeonwook Gym Multi-Gym).

Yang Ji-yong challenges Nandin Erden (38, Jeonwook Gym Multi-Gym), moving up two weight classes.

In the last order, Taisei completed the weigh-in. He passed at 105.4 kg as he had prepared hard. However, there is no opponent. Taisei exclaimed, "Kim Tae-in ran away. Anyway, tomorrow I want to deliver a match that meets the expectations of my fans. I want to have a great fight. I would like to ask for your support. It seems a fighter has been prepared by ROAD FC, so come on."

Then Kwon Ah-sol appeared. Kwon Ah-sol made a surprise decision to enter the tournament instead of Kim Tae-in. ROAD FC Chairman Jeong Mun-hong explained, "He said that he strongly wanted to do it. He is Kim Tae-in's brother, and he said he would take responsibility for his brother's business. He wanted to repay everything he gained in the combat sports world when there is a crisis."

Kwon Ah-sol stated, "I don't know my weight. I haven't trained for about 3 to 4 years. I have sparred with Taisei before. I will do my best to fight."
