With a month left until the fight day, Yu Jung-ak began his weight cut. Since his walking weight had increased, it was important to gradually reduce his weight in advance. This weight cut wasn't an extreme one; the plan was to lose a little weight beforehand and then cut water weight at the end.
"His middle kick is pretty heavy too."
Yu Jung-ak was analyzing Ki Young-min's video footage again. When a fighter gets a match, they thoroughly study their opponent's videos. It's similar to how baseball pitchers search for habits to exploit weaknesses. Sometimes, unexpected discoveries are made during this process. For example, finding out that a fighter who specializes in high kicks slightly lifts their front heel before throwing one.
"It's not his main weapon. But if you get caught off guard, you could go down immediately. Middle kicks have an element of surprise."
"Yes."
