June 24, 2010 – Hong Kong’s second professional mixed martial arts event, Legend II at HITEC’s Star Hall, began with fireworks and ended with fireworks with the 1,500-strong crowd roaring their approval as Australian-Chinese hero Adrian ‘The Hunter’ Pang triumphed over Korea’s Yu Woo Sung to take the first Legend FC Asia Pacific MMA Title.
Pang, who had drawn on his Hong Kong debut at Legend I in January, could smell victory early despite MMA specialist Yu having been unbeaten for four years. The match went the full three rounds, after a tough first round which saw Pang held down by his physicaly strong opponent. The battle was intense, in the second round before THE HUNTER found a chink in his opponents muscle bound armour badly hurting him with a knee to the body. Adrian and his corner saw his opponents reaction to the knee and launched an assault of strikes targeting the body. Coming close to finnishing his opponent on a few occasions Adrian admited that in his weakend state due to a rescent relapse of Malaria, he couldnt quite follow up enough to get the TKO victory in what was an extremely excitng fight.
Adrian Pang was declared Asia Pacific Lightweight Champion and fireworks rained down on the stage. At times Adrian had to be physicaly supported but wouldnt let his new fans down as he signed autographs and posed for photos with the crowd for probably an hour after the fight.
In other Integrated MMA action, it was an emotional win for young professional MMA athlete Tony Rossini who forced a tap-out from China’s Zhang Lipeng, two minutes and 56 seconds into their opening round.
Integrated MMA Welterweight Matt Cain was defeated by his opponent Bae after three rounds. Bae and Cain both competed in Legend I in January, but had never met in the ring until today. Bae asserted his physical strength early and the match was very competitive until Matt badly broke his right hand on his opponents head early in the fight. Many fighters would have not answered the bell but Cain valliantly fought rounds 2 and 3 as best he could before losing by decision.
