South Korean promotion Spirit MC has finalized the card for their upcoming ‘Termination’ event which will take place on Thursday, October 30 at the Chungcheong University in Cheongju City, South Korea.
And it’s a doozy.
First up is the middleweight (176lbs) title bout that pits Jae Suk Lim against Sang Il An.
Fans may recognize Suk Lim from his previous stints with Strikeforce and Elite XC. He looked great in his last bout, submitting Jung Hwan Chan in the first round via rear naked choke at Spirit MC 17 ‘All In’ which took place back in June.
Il An is coming off a lesser performance than Suk Lim’s after battling to a draw against Dong Hyun Kim (no, not the UFC fighter) at Spirit MC 18 ‘The Champion’ last August. Il An had impressive back-to-back knockouts earlier this year and is sure to be looking for his third against Chan.
Next in championship action will be the highly anticipated fight between Kwang “Crazy” Hee Lee who will put his welterweight (154lbs) title on the line against undefeated Ui Cheol Nam.
Hee Lee has won all five of his fights in Spirit MC – all by way of KO or TKO and certainly has a vicious pair of hands. He faced his first loss however back in May competing at ‘Sengoku Second Battle’ losing to Eiji Mitsuoka via rear naked choke in the first round.
He’ll be looking to get back to his winning streak and possibly provide the fans with another knockout. It won’t be an easy task however since his opponent Cheol Nam is undefeated at 8-0. This fight has the potential to be one hell of a brawl.
The event also features a handful of newcomers including three MMA debuts.
Check out the trailer for ‘Termination’ after the jump:

uhh…who? haha.
all i know it’s great being first…FIRST!!!!!
Yeah not a lot of big names but check the trailer bro, look at Kwang Hee Lee. His nickname isn’t “Crazy” for nothing.
Anyone know this kid Cheol Nam? Can’t find anything on him.
Yeah he started off in the Spirit MC Inter League. He also won Spirit MC’s Welterweight Tournament in 2006. Pretty decent fighter if i may say so, 8 straight wins in a row, only going to a decision twice. Keep an out for him.
*Keep an EYE out for him. He’s also around the age of 27.
The banner looks like an advertisement for a gay asian porn.
Am I to presume you’re an expert in the field?
I had no clue that there even was a South Korean MMA organization? Not exactly peeing my pants waiting for this card.
Where can you see this card – on tv or internet?
You can find anything on the internet, not that we condone it.
Also this event has been delayed, it will be rescheduled to a later date.
Event may be cancelled:
