The sleepy streets of Hua Hin will echo to the thud of bone and muscle next week as top mixed martial arts stars go toe to toe in front of BluPort mall.

Organised by the Hong Kong-based promoter Legend FC, the “Legend Fighting Championships” will feature both male and female stars from the world of MMA and Muay Thai.

Among the titans set to clash in Bluport square are Thanawat Raschinarit, Chakrabhop Rattanamang, Khemika Suwanchot, Paweena Palakan, Peter Denneso, Alvaro Vera, Jakub Wayman, and Phayungsak Singchalad.

Helping organise the event is former deputy prime minister Suwat Liptapanlop. The tournament is also being co-promoted by Thailand’s first-ever Olympic taekwondo medallist, Yaowapa “View” Burapolchai, who clinched bronze at the 2004 Athens Games.
