Kwon (21-10) returns to the cage after an absence of over two years to face tournament winner Barnaoui (18-4). Neither man had much to say for themselves, the champion stated,
“Kwon A-Sol has returned. I will show you the real Kwon A-Sol tomorrow.”
Meanwhile Barnaoui, who earned his title shot by winning a lightweight tournament, had the following message,
“I promise to put on a really exciting match this time.”
In total there are ten fights on the card which is set for Jeju Island tomorrow night. All the other fighters made weight although a couple of previously announced bouts appear to have fallen through.
