AFC 10 will take place at Sindorim Techno Mart in Seoul, South Korea on January 28th. The organization released its final lineup for the event that includes a total of eight matches with two being under kickboxing rules.
As previously announced, the vacant openweight title fight between former Heat title holder Lee Sang-Soo and undefeated Brazilian Giacomo Lemos has been bumped up to the main event due to welterweight champion Bae Myung-Ho injuring his spine and pulling out. The co-main slot will go to rising featherweight prospect Lee Do-Gyeom facing off against gritty Japanese warhorse Fumiya Sasaki.
Alongside Lee, Jang Won-Jun will be making his promotional debut against AFC vet Seo Jin-Soo. Jang is well-known as ‘Hell Boy’ on the regional scene because he was born with only his thumb and pinkie finger on his right hand. With that said, he has a tough task ahead of him when he collides with Seo, a ‘Korean Zombie’ disciple with knockout power.
The only women’s matchup of the night will be a clash of the undefeated. West Gym representative Park Bo-Hyun will be pitted against Wangho MMA’s Kang Ji-Won. Both fighters bring the action and rarely take a step back so the action could be at a fever pitch.
Heavyweights Jung Chul-Hyun and Kang Ji-Won will battle while power striker Ahn Jae-Young will take on Hong Kong native Sasha Palatnikov after almost two years on the shelf.
In true AFC fashion, a few kickboxing bouts were added to the mix. Kwon Ki-Sup and Ahn Chang-Joo will throw down in the featherweight division and middleweights Kim Do-Yoon and Kim Sang-Ho will tussle to kick off the event.
