Myung Ho Bae is a South Korean mixed martial artist competing in the welterweight division. He was the first Legend FC Welterweight Champion, having won the vacant title by defeating Rodney MacSwain via unanimous decision at Legend FC 5.

FROM FIGHT PROMOTION LEGEND FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP (WWW.LEGENDFC.COM):

It was adversity in Bae’s early life that first led him to MMA. His brother passed away when he was just 17, and his mother lost her battle with cancer three years later. When he was introduced to Busan’s Team MAD, MMA helped him to overcome these tragedies by giving him a new sense of focus and purpose. Since then, he has fought worldwide in organizations such as Dream, M-1, and Spirit MC, and he holds Korean national titles in Brazilian Jiujitsu and Sanda. His rugged good looks have led to modeling work and the nickname “Wolverine,” but he never loses sight of his ultimate goal: “I want to be a world champion.”

Bae has been called to serve in the South Korean military and will be absent from MMA action until mid-2015.
