Biography

Chi Bin Lim made his K-1 debut at the K-1 World MAX 2005 Open in an elimination fight for a place at the K-1 World MAX Final against K-1 MAX legend Masato, whom he lost to by unanimous decision. The next year Lim entered and won the K-1 Fighting Network KHAN 2006 in Busan event, defeating Su Hwan Lee in the final by technical knockout and qualifying for the K-1 World MAX 2006 Open. As with the previous year Lim would be unable to progress to the final, losing to Takayuki Kohiruimaki via technical knockout.

Lim would return to tournament action at the K-1 Fighting Network KHAN 2007 in Seoul. Due to the previous years win he would be the event favourite. He managed to progress to the final but lost in a re-match of last years final by knockout to Su Hwan Lee. This meant that he was unable to participate in the K-1 World MAX Final Elimination. In 2008 Chi Bin Lim won the K-1 Asia MAX 2008 in Seoul Asia Tournament in devastating fashion, stopping all three of his opponents and earning himself a spot at the K-1 World MAX Final 16. As with his previous attempts he was unable to make the final, losing to Yasuhiro Kido by knockout.

2009 would again see Lim enter and win his regional qualifying event - beating local rival Su Hwan Lee in the final and qualifying for the K-1 World MAX Final 16. Once again Chi Bin Lim was unable to make the grade, losing a close decision to yet another Japanese fighter, Yuya Yamamoto. Due to an injury he found his opportunities limited in 2010 and was not given an opportunity to qualify for the K-1 World MAX final . He did have one highlight of that year, however, defeating Valdet Gashi in just 16 seconds at the 2010 W.A.K.O. PRO World Challenge.
