Full Card Announced For Legend FC 13

Legend Fighting Championship, a pioneer of mixed martial arts in Asia, will mark its return to Macau at the prestigious MGM Theater on Saturday, September 14th, when knockout artist Liu Lianjie meets China’s top submission specialist Yuan Chunbo in a main event thriller.

Hailing from Southeast China and living in Beijing, Liu is a veteran of Chinese MMA. Trained at the famed Shaolin Temple, Liu has gone on to establish himself as a knockout artist with aggressive ground-and-pound, fast hands and a solid wrestling pedigree.

He comes to Legend FC 13 on a three-fight win streak, his most recent being a split-decision win over Du Li Le at Legend FC 12.

Hailing from China’s Northeast and living in Guangzhou, Yuan Chunbo defeated rising star Yi Zha at Legend FC 12 with an impressive heel hook submission that had Yi limping out of the cage before the second round, while Yuan had barely broken a sweat.

Legend FC is also pleased to announce a four-man 80kg Sanda Tournament to bring the striking art of Sanda to the world stage.

In the first semi-final of the night, highly entertaining striker Yang Zhanwang returns to meet Aerdake Apaer, a wresting wizard who hails from the ethnic region of Xinjiang.
