The Road FC 53 card has received a last minute reshuffle. Out goes Jerome Le Banner who has suffered a back injury and in comes Heo Jae-Hyeok who has accepted a fight with Aorigele at very late notice.
Jae-Hyeok (1-1) is coming off a loss at Road FC 50. He tips the scale at nearly 300lbs but will still be lighter than Chinese giant Aorigele (7-2) who is one of the biggest fighters in Asian MMA.
As previously announced Road FC 53 will be headlined by a high stakes, lightweight title fight between champion Kwon A-Sol and Mansour Barnaoui. The former earned his shot at the prize by winning a 16 man tournament.
The card will also feature a lightweight rematch between Shin Dong-Guk and Hayashi Tamotsu
Road FC 53 is set for the Hanla Gymnasium in Jeju Island on May 18th.
