Road Fighting Championship, which is based in South Korea and hosts events in the Asian region, announced last Saturday that they will be hosting a lightweight tournament with a $1,000,000 prize. They’re asking for the best fighters in the world to join, and even prodded at Jose Aldo, who currently wants out of his UFC contract.

While it’s highly unlikely that the UFC lets go of their long time featherweight champion, the massive prize money involved alone is already drawing a lot of interest from talented fighters.
