LEGEND III will combine seven world class kickboxing fights with catwalk glamour in Italy’s haute couture capital Milan.
Former voice of Pride Fighting Championships Lenne Hardt is lending her unique booming introduction style to proceedings, and a huge 24 x 9 TV screen will also provide an awe-inspiring backdrop.

Suleymanov said:

I’m sure that tonight we will be putting on one of the best – if not the best – fight shows which Europe has ever seen. It’s a very good fight card, and we think our show in terms of production is the best. We have the legendary voice of Pride Lenne Hardt, and a big screen of the highest LED quality. All the parts of the screen weigh more than 10 tonnes, which gives you an idea of the size. It’s the biggest in Europe for its quality. At LEGEND, our team try to give everything our maximum and be the best.

Participating fighters this afternoon took to the catwalk with 14 beautiful models during an adrenaline-pumping dress rehearsal at show venue the Mediolanum Forum ahead of this evening’s seven-fight bill.

The opening ceremony will last over half an hour and contain a catwalk show featuring the fighters dressed in sharp suits.

Suleymanov said:

Milan is a fashion city, so we decided to make the theme of the show about fashion.
Each fighter will be accompanied by a beautiful lady with the flag of their home country.
It’s a good combination of strong fighters, beautiful ladies and fashion, which the Milan people love.

Suleymanov added:

I enjoyed today’s dress rehearsal myself. I’m looking forward to seeing a very good show and I’m looking forward to seeing the stadium filled with 10,000 people.
It’s not so hot in Milan today, but Legend III will turn up the temperature.”
Legend III will be broadcast in over 100 countries worldwide.
