The world of combat sports is buzzing as comedian Yoon Hyung-bin and YouTuber Banzz (real name Jung Wansoo), are set to face off in a mixed martial arts (MMA) bout. Tapology, a recognized authority in the MMA world, has acknowledged Banzz’s MMA debut as a one-win career.
the highly anticipated match is scheduled for June 28 at the Jung-gu Kangchong Stadium in Seoul, a venue capable of holding over 4,500 spectators. This MMA competition will be the main event, highlighting its significance in the fight card.
This marks Yoon Hyung-bin’s third appearance in Road FC. His initial foray into the sport saw him secure a victory against Takaya Kiyoshi Kiyoda of Japan in February 2014 wiht a first-round KO at 4 minutes and 18 seconds. However,his comeback fight after nearly a decade-long hiatus in December 2023 resulted in a 1-2 defeat against Satoki Iimura,also from Japan. This most recent match,however,was not officially recognized as an MMA bout becuase it was a contract weight of 80 kg and 100 seconds (can be extended by 100 seconds).
Banzz, on the other hand, faced a defeat in his “Fighter 100 club 2” mixed martial arts debut in Seokushima City in December 2024, succumbing to a Japanese fighter via judo techniques. The bout, believed to be an unlimited 3 minutes × 2 rounds match, is not considered an official MMA fight.
Yoon Hyung-bin’s Road to the Ring
Yoon Hyung-bin’s journey to this fight is an interesting one. He has experience in both MMA and boxing, giving him a unique perspective as he prepares to face Banzz.
“if I hit it off, it would be different,”
Yoon Hyun-bin
Yoon’s confidence stems, in part, from his victories in the Korean Boxers Association (KBI) Life Sports Conference, where he won the 49th Contest in june 2021 and received the honorary champion title in August 2022.
He also competed in the first season of the wrestling variety show “The World’s No. 1 Heroes” in 2022, where he defeated Yoon Changmin and Kang Kyung-ho, demonstrating his wrestling capabilities.
Despite a previous surgery, with Yoon Hyun-bin saying, “Although the left hand after the operation does not seem to be used on RoadFC 73, it doesn’t seem to feel necessary,” he seems ready for whatever outcome this match holds.
Banzz’s Judo Background
banzz brings a different skillset to the table. As an elite judo player, he possesses a strong grappling foundation. He competed in the qualifiers of the Men’s Middle School Individual Competition of the 34th National Youth Sports Conference in 2005.
While his MMA debut didn’t go as planned, his judo background could prove to be a significant advantage in a fight against Yoon.
Predictions and Analysis
Given the contrasting backgrounds of the two fighters, this match presents an intriguing clash of styles. Yoon Hyung-bin’s experience in MMA and boxing gives him an edge in striking, while Banzz’s judo skills could make him a formidable grappler.
In assessing Yoon’s potential, it is important to consider his remarks:
“maybe because of the experience of the Korean Boxers Association’s life sports competition, the image of the boxer has become stronger.”

Yoon went on to say that he is preparing for an all-round confrontation, and he has confidence in grabbing Banzz, who is from the middle school judo department.
