Many thanks to Byron for passing this along. This isn’t anything new to the regulars on MyMuayThai.com but I think it’s a fairly momentous occasion. The Contender Asia is going to be aired on Versus in the United States.

Some of you may remember that during my interview with Zig Zach he mentioned his next fight was going to be in Malaysia. Those fights were last week and I haven’t been able to get my hands on any clips.
In addition to Zach, Zidov Akuma, and Sean Wright were also on the bill. This event was also used as a qualifier for season 2 of the Contender Asia. You can check out what went down on Galvin Tan’s Blog, he’s posted the results and some nice pics of the action. Read more
