Strike Force Auckland middleweight Pat Crawley was scheduled to face Yang Hae Jun at Legend 5 when an injury sidelined him less than two weeks before the fight. A frustrated Crawley was unable to compete or even spar for many months, but has been back in training with a vengeance since completing his rehabilitation. Shaking off the ring rust with a flawless submission victory in Australia in April, he is now eager to return to the Legend Ring to pick up where he left off. His opponent Hideto Tatsumi, however, has other plans. One of the most heavy-handed fighters on the Legend roster, Tatsumi brings an aggressive “knock-out-or-get-knocked-out” fighting style to every contest. Winning most of his fights by stoppage, Tatsumi is clearly a competitor who looks for the finish. With these two men in the ring, this fight is unlikely to go the distance.
