HONG KONG, CHINA -�Media OutReach�-�14 February 2019 -�Legend Fighting Championship, a pioneer of mixed
martial arts in Asia, is pleased to announce two strategic partners have joined
its board ahead of the organisation's plans to expand into the Greater China
region.

Audie Attar, President of
Paradigm Sports Management, has joined Legend FC as a founding board member and
will play a pivotal role in the business as Legend FC continues to further the
reach of MMA across Asia.

Attar and his firm, Paradigm Sports Management, headquartered in Irvine CA,
represents more than 40 of the world's leading athletes across the NFL,
Bellator and UFC, including some of the most iconic names in MMA from Conor
McGregor to China's Li Jingliang, Michael Bisping, Cris Cyborg, Tony Ferguson
and Megan Anderson.

Over his 15 years in sports management Attar has negotiated the highest purses
and endorsement deals in MMA history and was co-promoter of the historic
McGregor vs. Mayweather mega-fight in Las Vegas.

Legend FC is also pleased to welcome Berjaya Assets Bhd, an associate of
Berjaya Group of Companies, one of Malaysia's largest conglomerates, as a
strategic investor in the MMA promotion.

Berjaya Asset's business segments are gaming and related activities, property
development and property investment, and recreation. Berjaya's major
shareholder owns some of the world's largest sports assets and will bring a
wealth of experience from its management of Cardiff City Football Club, FK
Sarajevo, KV Kortrijk and co-ownership of Los Angeles FC.

"When people think of the origins of MMA in the Asia-Pacific region they
immediately think of the Legend FC brand," said Audie Attar, President of
Paradigm Sports Management.

"Legend FC is a pioneer of mixed
martial arts and together we will chart a new and exciting course for the
sport. I couldn't be more excited about this announcement today and about where
the future might lead us."

Legend FC Chairman Matthew Kwok added the new strategic partners bring
extensive leadership experience to the sport of MMA.

"There is a proven global pedigree but perhaps most importantly a strong
understanding, respect and appreciation for China," he said.

"After analyzing the market in Asia-Pacific and seeing the number of promotions
that are trying so hard to become the next UFC, we decided to focus on the
original market that was of interest: China."

Legend returned with its relaunch event, Legend 12, on 15 September 2018 in
Guangzhou, China. The promotion held its first-ever event in Hong Kong back in
January 2010 and went on to shape Asia's MMA scene for years, launching the
careers of up-and-coming fighters onto the international stage.

A date and location for Legend 13
will be announced in the coming weeks.
