LEGEND FC 7: BIEKE WRESTLES THE BANTAMWEIGHT BELT, BAE NARROWLY RETAINS THE WELTERWEIGHT TITLE
On February 11th, Legend Fighting Championship held their seventh installment in the Grand Hyatt Ballroom in the City Of Dreams entertainment complex, Macau, China. The co-main events were both first time title defenses by Bantamweight Champion Yao HongGang of China Top Team against newly-signed Jumabieke Tuerxun of Xian Sports Uni, and Welterweight Champion Bae MyoungHo of Team MAD against Li JingLiang of China Top Team. The remaining eight matches were national rivalries, pitting fighters from six different different countries against each other (seven depending on how you view Formosa).
The undercard - which was streamed free and live on Legend FC's YouTube channel - featured four fighters new to the Legend ring against veteran opponents, and the Century Cup was a contest between two athletes also never before seen by the promotion's audience. With over sixty fighters on their roster, Legend FC has many athletes with whom to create potentially stunning match ups. Stacking their first free live streamed event with so much talent not known to the regular audience was a daring attempt by the promotion to showcase its matchmaking skills, and a huge risk to obtaining new viewers if it didn't pan out.
Rounding out the main card were three matches between certified bangers. Again Legend FC added more new talent to the pool with KO striker Hideto Tatsumi, and even gave a title shot straight away to the brand-new signee Bieke.
Pre-fight day weigh ins occurred in the hall outside the Grand Hyatt Ballroom. Only two of the fighters didn't make weight and were reweighed later. Liu Wenbo, who has come down from heavyweight to 84kgs, suffered greatly and could barely step on the scale. Wang Sai had it a little easier with a quick trip to the toilet. Every single one of the fighters looked ripped and ready to throw down. The only staredown that turned ugly was between Wang Sai and Gareth Ealy head-butting for dominant position. True to form, Bae charismatically made a memorable entrance when he handed promoters Mike Haskamp and Chris Pollack samples of the underwear brand he models, then proceeded to turn around and 'arrange himself' for his turn to model sponsor S&R on the scale.
