This time, Akdong Kwon Ah-sol (36) failed to meet the weight.
Kwon Ah-sol clocked 78kg at the Goobne Road FC 062 official weigh-in event held at the Swiss Grand Hotel in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 17th, exceeding the contractual weight of 73kg by 5kg.
Opponent Nakamura Koji (37) easily passed the weight at 72.4kg. Kwon Ah-sol and Nakamura clash in the co-main event of Road Mall Road FC 062 at the same venue on the afternoon of the 18th.
Nakamura passed the weight effortlessly while eating a banana. Then Kwon Ah-sol appeared and took off his clothes and covered himself with a towel.
Nakamura sat down in front of the scale and prepared to check Kwon Ah-sol’s weight. Then when Kwon Ah-sol stepped on the scale, he burst out laughing.
Kwon Ah-sol, who failed the weigh-in, entered with the help of the coaching staff without being able to take a picture before the match. After finishing the photo shoot by himself, Nakamura smiled and walked down to the podium.
Even at the official press conference, Kwon A-sol did not appear. Road FC president Jeong Moon-hong apologized, saying, “First of all, I would like to apologize from the point of view of hosting the tournament.” He explained: “I can’t say whether Kwon Ah-sol will play or not, and I think Nakamura’s opinion is important.”
Nakamura, who took the microphone, said, “I came to fight, so I naturally have a desire to fight.” He added: “I’m concerned about Kwon Ah-sol’s health. On the contrary, I’m more curious about Kwon Ah-sol’s ability to play.”
Nakamura and Kwon Ah-sol faced off at the Road FC 13 tournament in October 2013. At the time, Nakamura defeated Kwon A-Sol by knockout with punches and kicks.
Kwon Ah-sol also failed in the first weight during the special match with Nam Eui-cheol (41) at the Goobne Road FC 060 competition held in May last year.
