Heroes Legends

And my intro music wasn't picked by me! Hahaha. I think they used a 1995 Greatest Hits CD for all the music. It was funny for sure.

I also put up a video of my first MMA fight in case anyone's interested.

If things go as planned, Hero Legends will make it's American debut early next year. Stay tuned. One of my masters, Tony Chen, is heavily involved. In fact, last week, I helped him translate some materials for soliciting sponsors for this. So you know we're on top of this one. I'll post the news as it breaks, right here for you all.

Forgive me, but this is a KICKBOXING promotion, not a san da one? Are they really trying to introduce yet another kick-punch format into the US as opposed to san da?

By the way he broke his hand punching me, his foot kicking me, I broke his jaw and his ribs. He spent 3 days in hospital.

now thats how you lose a fight.

lkfmdc, you surprise me with this comment. You're usually really good at reading between the lines. Hero Legends has very little to do with the American market. It's the first privately run, international professional fight sport in Mainland China. They call themselves 'international' because its debut featured athletes like Ayron from Canada and three American fighters. To make it more 'international' they want to hold some fights abroad. They want to play Vegas, fight capitol of the world. That sponsorship pitch I worked up was for sponsors who are looking to support the fights in America, but the underlying offer was to be seen in China. This show will be broadcast on Guangdong Satellite TV, the 5th largest network in China. This not only covers 32 provinces in China, it is also seen in Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines and Sri Lanka. The viewership is estimated at 2 billion. While its grand that over 4 million viewers got to see a 14 seconds of a Champs logo on Kimbo's ass when it gets kicked, imagine getting a logo on a Hero Legends champ for several rounds of a stand-up fight.
