Korean MMA fighter Hwang In-soo gets knocked out in five seconds at Road FC 054
- Choi Won-jun delivers fastest knockout in Road Fighting Championship history
- Middleweight prodigy Hwang In-soo suffers first loss after charging straight into a right hand from the bell
Korean middleweight prodigy Hwang In-soo suffered his first professional MMA defeat last weekend – and in some style.
Hwang was 4-0 heading into his bout against fellow newcomer Choi Won-jun, who had a record of 4-2, for Korean promotion Road FC.
And he was perhaps a little overconfident, charging at his opponent from the bell at the Wonju Gymnasium, and running straight into a right hand from Choi.
Hwang’s body went limp and he fell to the mat, with Choi reeling off a series of undefended punches to Hwang’s head before the referee stepped in to signal the fastest knockout in Road history.
The 29-year-old Choi, seemingly shocked at what had just happened, jumped onto the top of the cage to celebrate in front of an equally stunned crowd as Hwang staggered to his feet.
Hwang had been hyped as a potential new star for the Korean Promotion after quickly compiling four wins in the space of eight months.
