Soo Chul Kim might not have the most impressive sounding record, but that is largely because the 22-year-old is a former ONE FC champion who has been in with some of the best bantamweights in Asia and faced BJJ black belts on no fewer than four occasions. At Road FC 14 in Seoul on Saturday night, Kim turned his career around in the space of the two minutes it took him to demolish UFC veteran Motonobu Tezuka in a virtuoso performance that culminated in a vicious left hook to the body of the experienced Japanese fighter. As Tezuka collapsed to the ground, Kim unleashed a barrage of punches that gave the referee no option but to step in and save the stricken fighter from further punishment. The win takes the Korean up to 8-5 while the Japanese fighter drops to 20-8-4. The Road FC 145-pound title was on the line, as Bae Young Kwon and Mu Gyeom Choi met in the final of the eight-man tournament to crown an inaugural champion.
