Road FC have a huge following in South Korea, where they have a prime-time television slot, a reality TV show, and a viewership to the extent that when American flyweight (and Road FC Bantamweight Grand Prix finalist) Andrew Leone went to a 7-11, he was mobbed for photographs.
Sliding doors of life eh Lion Heart; you could have stayed in Bangkok fighting in Nak Soo and teaching English. Now you have your pick of Korean women, and all the finest cheese, meats and wine that you could ever wish for.
We love rohyp-a-nol
We’ve got rohyp-a-nol
We take rohyp-a-nol
Just forget it all
