Hwang In-soo said, “It may be difficult, but I have to prove it. Wouldn’t I be better at hitting. If you do it with me, your face will break. I will stop the grappling and kill him,” he said, keeping his promise. Struggled on the ground in the first round, but it didn’t sit well after the second round and was an edge throughout as a striker.<\/p>\n

After the ZFN04 win, he said in a cage interview, “Alix Aaron College is slow, so I thought I could hold on while keeping a distance enough, but the pull is really strong. I couldn’t stop the tackle because I was dragged down if I got caught. He also praised his opponent, saying, “He did a great job.”<\/p>\n

“There are gaps in Hwang’s performance,” Alex Aaron Farage said in a pre-interview of ZFN04 main event. We’ll see if he still thinks I’m a five-point striker (based on 10 points) after the game,” he pointed out, but he didn’t prove it as a result.<\/p>\n

In mixed martial arts, if you are unilaterally pushed in wrestling, the fight itself does not exist. Alex Aaron College said, “I’m not interested in smashing my face. It will destroy the spirit of Hwang In-soo. I will make you regret being a fighter.”<\/p>\n
