LEGEND FC 9 PRESS RELEASE

CITY OF DREAMS EXCLUSIVELY PRESENTS LEGEND 9 ON JUNE 16

WITH KOJI ANDO AND ROB HILL VYING FOR TITLE SHOT

Top Chinese welterweight Li Jingliang to face Australian Dan Pauling in co-main event

Macau, May 17, 2012 (Thursday) — Top-ranked Japanese fighter Koji Ando will face Australian brawler Rob Hill at City of Dreams exclusively presents Legend Fighting Championship 9 on Saturday, June 16, 2012, at City of Dreams, Cotai, Macau. This is a critical match-up for both men as the winner will fight reigning champion Jadamba Narantungalag for the Legend Lightweight Title.

Koji (1-1 Legend, 6-3-2 overall) has won four of his last five fights including a dramatic “Submission of the Night” victory over Damien Brown at Legend 7. Always entertaining fan favorite and Australian knockout artist Rob Hill (2-2 Legend, 11-5-1 overall) will aim to derail Ando’s title hopes. Hill is coming off his own “Submission of the Night” performance against Yusuke Kasuya at Legend 8 and will be looking for another statement victory en route to a title shot. 

“The road to the title goes through Ando,” said Hill. “I’m pumped up and ready to take him out to get a shot at the belt. I’ve got a flair for the dramatic, and I know I’ll win big.”

Undefeated Australian “Diamond” Dan Pauling (8-0 overall) will debut in the Legend ring in the co-main event against China’s top-ranked welterweight Li “The Leech” Jingliang (3-2 Legend, 12-3 overall). Li, of China Top Team, is seeking to rekindle his title hopes with a dominant win over the Australian. Pauling, widely considered one of the region’s best submission artists, will have his hands full with the focused and confident Sanda specialist Li.

Legend 9 will also host a four-man bantamweight tournament to determine the next Legend Bantamweight Champion. The tournament will include former Legend titleholder Yao Honggang (2-1 Legend, 6-3 overall) of China, who will take on Filipino Agustin Delarmino, Jr. (2-0 Legend, 6-1 overall), and Japan’s Taiyo Nakahara (0-1 Legend, 12-7 overall), who will fight charismatic Korean Jo Nam Jin (2-2 Legend, 6-3 overall).

The City of Dreams event also will feature several Legend veterans, such as Pat Crawley (New Zealand), Hideto Tatsumi (Japan), Ji Xian (China), Wu Chengjie (China) and Wu Haotian (China).
