The highlight match of LION Championship 24 between the Vietnamese martial artist duo Ha The Anh and Nguyen Thanh Thoan and the Chinese guests Truong Yen Long - Gia Dien Tan in the doubles format (MMA Dou) took place in a rather surprising scenario when the two Chinese representatives did not cause too much difficulty for the Vietnamese martial artists.
Thanh Thoan and The Anh (Red Pants) showed superiority over Yen Long and Dien Tan (Blue Pants)
During the 5 minutes of competition, Thanh Thoan and The Anh showed their superiority over their two opponents on the other team. Although Yen Long's forte is Kickboxing, he used very few punches and his upper body defense was very weak. The Chinese boxer almost did not create any pressure on Thanh Thoan with only one punch on target.
On the other hand, Thanh Thoan continuously struck accurately at his opponent's head. After a period of enduring the blows, Yen Long accepted defeat.
Meanwhile, Ha The Anh and Gia Dien Tan pinned each other against the cage wall. Like his teammate Yen Long, Gia Dien Tan could not launch any quality attacks on The Anh but mainly fought back in a passive position.
The stalemate between The Anh and Dien Tan was quickly broken when Thanh Thoan entered the game after defeating Yen Long. In a 2 vs 1 situation, it was no surprise that the Vietnamese pair easily finished the match, winning the overall victory.
Previously, two other Vietnamese martial arts pairs, Le Van Vu - Vo Minh Nghia and Phan Huy Hoang - Do Nguyen Minh Quyen, defeated Cambodian martial arts pairs Roem Kakada - Sot Seyha and Sry Sran - Khan Tit in the MMA Dou format.
