Profile_-_zhang_tiequan_230_mediumURCC Middleweight Champion and first ever Chinese MMA Champ Zhang Tie Quan looks to keep his perfect 9-0 record in tact when he travels south from his Beijing training grounds at BJJ black belt Ruy Meneves' China Top Team to the newly christened MMA grounds of Hong Kong to face New Zealand Welterweight Champion Daniel Digsby (4-2) in a 77kg bout scheduled for Legends Fighting Championship 2 on June 24th inside Kowloon Bay's Star Hall.

An Inner Mongolian San Da Champion, Zhang can also add the honor of being the first Chinese fighter to ever receive a purple belt in jiu-jitsu to his list of accomplishments.  Widely considered the uncrowned 75kg Champ of China's premier MMA promotion, The Art of War Fighting Championship, Zhang could become the first ever Chinese fighter signed by Zuffa, as rumors of Joe Silva attending the event continue to circulate.
