Ring Championship has confirmed its third numbered event for September 8 at Crest 72 Glass Hall, located inside the World K-Pop Center in Jangchung-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul.
The main event will be a lightweight bout between Jeong Il-jayeon, who has been on fire in the Korean scene with stints in organizations such as Road FC, TFC, W.T.C., and Black Combat, and Kazumasa Sugawara, 31, a Japanese veteran who has played for Shuto and Heat.
Both Jeong and Kazumasa Sugawara are veterans with 10 years of professional experience. Jeong has a combined record of 7 wins, 1 loss and 4 draws, while Kazumasa Sugawara has a combined record of 6 wins, 1 loss and 9 draws.
Ring Championship is a new organization that launched in 2023, but it has quickly become a major professional MMA organization with official events. It held its first official event in April, followed by a second in June. The organization has an official gym in Anseong, Gyeonggi-do.카지노사이트
Ring Championship CEO Kim Naechul (38) also has a noteworthy resume. He was a mixed martial artist from 2011 to 2018 before making the transition to coach and tournament organizer. A Muay Thai powerhouse with over 30 fights under his belt, Kim made his MMA debut and has been a regular in the Road FC since, fighting against the likes of Park Jung-kyo and Hwang In-soo. He was fondly known as “Assault Captain.
Kim said, “There are few stages for active players to play and many juniors are struggling financially. We want to pave the way for them to gain economic benefits based on their participation in professional competitions.”
In a press release, Ring Championship said, “We aim to be a luxury MMA professional competition and will provide the best sports and entertainment experience to the audience through a luxurious atmosphere and modern platform.” “Although we are a new organization, we have secured live broadcasting through IB Sports and are supported by Thailand’s Fairtax, a global fighting equipment company.”
