The main and co-main events of ROAD FC 052 have incredibly high stakes, however there are brilliant performers situated throughout the line up. Here are a few of the highlights to watch out for.

Bruno Miranda vs Hong Young-Ki

Bruno Miranda has become a fan favorite with his adrenaline-packed Muay Thai skills. Contrasting his striking style, his opponent Hong Young-Ki is a Taekwondo master, who – like Bantamweight title contender Moon Jea-Hoon – always uses tremendous kicking skills in his fights. This main card match is a striker’s battle that will burn as hot and fast as a firecracker.

Michel Pereira vs Kim Dae-Sung

When two middleweights decide to pack on the pounds and meet in openweight battle, it speaks of violence. This is exactly what high-flying acrobatic Michel Pereira and do-or-die slugger Kim Dae-Sung have agreed to do. Whether the extra weight will ground Pereira’s aerials or add concrete to Kim’s hands serves to increase the anticipation.

Yang Hae-Jun vs Lim Dong-Hwan

The main event for the Young Guns 41 preliminary card features perennial standout Yang Hae-Jun versus young hotrod Lim Dong-Hwan. Yang has showed off a great striking game in the past, and now wants to grind out his opponents with his pressure cooker wrestling. Lim is a diamond in the rough who has shown glimpses of brilliance in his fledgling career, hungrily looking to face, and dominate, a known threat. This is experience versus youth, with a huge amount of power on both sides.
