Legend returns to Macau for its first event of 2012 when City of Dreams
exclusively presents Legend Fighting Championship 7 on Saturday, February 11!
South Korea’s Bae Myung Ho returns to the Legend Ring for the first time
since claiming the Legend Welterweight Title in July 2011. He puts both the
belt and his undefeated record at Legend on the line against China’s top
welterweight Li Jingliang. China Top Team standout Li is riding a
three-fight win streak against some of Legend’s top welterweight contenders,
including two highlight reel finishes and a Submission of the Night award.
In the co-main event of the evening, Li’s teammate Yao
Honggang will be making his own first defense of the Legend Bantamweight
Title. The Shuaijiao master will be facing a dangerous but familiar competitor:
compatriot Jumabieke Tuerxun. Bieke is one of the only men to ever
defeat Yao in competition – a loss that Yao will be seeking to avenge in
dramatic fashion.
South Korea’s Choi Yeong Gwang returns to action from an injury that has
kept him sidelined for almost six months. Seeking to re-establish himself as a
title contender, he faces the man who replaced him in the Legend Featherweight
Tournament: Filipino fighter Mark
Striegl. And Striegl’s Japanese teammate Koji
Ando looks to bounce back from a controversial decision loss when he takes
on South Korean “Tornado” Song
Un Sik.
Also appearing on the card will be Legend veterans Matt
Cain (Australia), Liu
Wenbo (China), Michael
Mortimer (Australia), Wang
Sai (China), and Yang
Hae Jun (South Korea).
