Co-promotion with Thai Fight. These are the bouts that are currently slated for broadcast on Thai television as part of Thai Fight's monthly series, though I doubt that they will all air due to time constraints. Whether this show and broadcast will go ahead with the Thai fighters on it due to current events outside of the sport is another question.
Zhang Chenglong X Victor Pinto-65kg
Jarred Rothwell X Denphanom Rongreankeelakorat-71kg
Jonathan Tuhu X Saenchai P.K.Saenchaimuaythaigym-67kg
Firdavs Boynazarov X Hans Zihao-63kg
Zhu Xu X Santipab Sit-Au-Ubon-60kg
Bobur Tagaev X Payak Samui Lukjaoporongtomkromsappasamit-68kg
Christ Axelsson X P.T.T Petchrungrueng-68kg
Islam Murtazaev X Sudsakorn Sor.Klinmee-73kg
Erik Massion X Tengnueng Sitjesairoong-75kg
I believe EM Legend are scheduled to have a few more fights on the card. These are two of the promotions that are currently in co-operation with GLORY, so maybe one or two of these fighters may pop up on a GLORY event soon. Maybe when GLORY visit Thailand next year?

Emei is/was doing an event in Bangkok soon too, guessing that might not happen at least.

Pinto and Saenchai fights have made it to Youtube, I'm waiting for full event to appear before I watch them. Shouldn't be too long.

I noticed when watching some clips of fights from cards past, they have little in the way of sponsorship also. I think they hold a year long 65kg tournament, which seems to be their main thread. What's their status in relation to the other orgs in China? Are they distant 3rd/4th/5th promotion, gaining traction or simply unknown at the moment?

Payak Samui usually fights like a madman so I'm looking forward to his fight. It will be cool to see PTT too.

What's their status in relation to the other orgs in China? Are they distant 3rd/4th/5th promotion, gaining traction or simply unknown at the moment? They are pretty tiny by comparison. They must be growing but not exactly near Kunlun/WLF. Viewership-wise if you looked at just single broadcasts the Chinese promotions now would probably be in order of Superstar Fight, Kunlun, WLF ones....then somewhere Emei and others. Kunlun has a shitty time slot on a big big channel and does seemingly okay for that - not a huge amount of support from the network as far as I've seen. Kunlun is in a somewhat weird place, they'd really need to get into a prime time slot and be able to do proper live broadcasts in the future. WLF stuff is on a clearly smaller channel than Kunlun but on at much better time(s) and they do above average for them, which is why they've had seemingly great support from the channel. Now the Rise of Heroes stuff is also on a different bigger channel so their reach is growing. Superstar Fight is a mix of those 2. On a huge channel at good time, but less often and don't think the channel really cares about them, yet anyways. Very new so we'll see how they'll do. Never know who ends up doing a K-1 and vanish after a couple shows. Emei is probably on a similarly sized channel than the main WLF stuff but on at worse time and don't think they have anywhere near the kind of network support either. They also don't have any of the Chinese "stars" that WLF, Kunlun or even Superstar Fight does. Emei is sorta propping themselves up via Glory/K-1/Thai Fight/Topking in a hey look at what we're doing with all these guys kind of way. Don't have a whole lot to back it up but I think Glory is probably pretty done with them and whatever Chinese thing they'll end up doing they'll do themselves and not with Emei like it kinda looked like a while ago. It'll be curious to see where the f--- Glory will get Chinese fighters though. |

Emei seemingly getting more attention in the west than it does in China They have a PR team. I get results, photos, fight cards and such emailed to me in a timely manner. Most Chinese promotions are a fucking mess and if they do send anything out, it's those PDF files entirely in Chinese with the occasional English name that is completely wrong. |
