Let's take a look at the main card...

66 kg match
Ning Guang You (2-0-1) "The Tank" will take on tough Korean newcomer, Kang Kyung Ho. Kang (10-1) is a veteran of Korea's Spirit MC and also the winner of Go! Super Korean Season 3, an MMA reality show. Ning is certainly the stronger and more explosive fighter but Kang is more technical the most experienced fighter that he has ever faced. Ning will have to bring his A Game if he wants to finish the tough and ready Korean.

72 kg match
Yu Woo Sung "Bronco" (10-3) of Korea was the 2006 Spirit MC Welterweight Tournament Finalist. His opponent is the always tough and durable, Egon Racz (1-2) of Slovakia, who is returning to the Art of War ring after a one year absence. Bronco is a very strong wrestler who will look to bring the fight to the ground where his powerful ground and pound skills give him a big advantage. Racz is an expert striker with over 100 matches to his credit and also the 2006 European open Muay Thai champion, and the 2005 European kickboxing champion. No doubt he will be looking to stop Bronco with a powerful knockout.

72 kg match
After dominating his opponent in AOW12, Chinese fighter, Wu Hao Tian (6-0), will be returning to face his toughest challenge yet in Shukhrat Minavarov of Uzbekistan. Minavarov is a 3x Central Asia kickboxing champion and 2007 World Kickboxing Federation world champion. Wu Hao Tian will have to display perfect grappling skills if he is to get Minavarov to the ground and force the submission. Minavarov is also an expert in combat sambo and claims to be unafraid of Wu Hao Tian's ground skills.

72 kg match
Dai Shuang Hai (8-0-3) "The Wolf" of China will face undefeated Polish superstar, Marcin Pionke (6-0), who is a Polish Judo champion. Both are expert grapplers and strikers. This bout will be about who has the better strategy coming into the fight. Will youth and power prevail over technique and experience?

72 kg match
Bernueng Sakhomsin (1-2-1) of Thailand is currently ranked in the top 10 of Thailand's 70kg Muay Thai standings and a former Rajadamnern Champion. His opponent, Jadambaa Narantungalag is a 5x veteran of the K1-Max tournament and is one of Mongolia's toughest MMA fighters, having competed against some of the greatest names that MMA has to offer, such as Kid Yamamoto and Buakaw Por Pramuk. Don't miss this fight... it will be a WAR!!!

78 kg match
In the main event, up and coming Chinese fighter Wang Sai (2-0) will be facing Swedish newcomer, Claes Beverlov (5-2). Wang Sai will be facing a much more experienced opponent, but he has proven that he can remain calm under pressure. Beverlov is a product of the famous Legacy Gym under the leadership of Ole Baguio Larsen. This is a match up of the young guns and will no doubt end in knock out or submission.
