Korean promotion Road FC is headed to Japan for the first time next month with a card in Tokyo that will be stacked with several Pride veterans including Hong Man Choi, Mu Bae Choi, Daiju Takase, and Ikuhisa Minowa.
Road FC 24 is booked for the Ariake Coliseum on July 25. It will be headlined by a fight between UFC veteran Riki Fukuda (22-7-0-1) and up-and-coming Korean Uh Jin Jeon (3-2) with the organization’s vacant 185-pound title on the line.
The co-main event sees one of the most recognizable Korean fighters return to the sport after a six-year absence, as the 7-foot-2-inch Hong Man Choi (3-2) takes on Carlos Toyota (5-6) in a contest that could see the Brazilian Japanese middleweight outweighed by the best part of 200 pounds.
