LION Championship 28: Vietnamese representative regrettably lost to Chinese opponent

On the evening of November 8, the matches within the framework of LION Championship 28 ended with extremely surprising developments.

The first four matches all ended with technical knockouts, with victories going to Nguyen Thanh Thoan (vs. Huynh Ngoc Tin), Do Phuc Hau (vs. Pham Anh Duc), Le Minh Hoang (vs. Dinh Chi Cong) and Chayut Rojanakat (Thailand, vs. Gleb Ovcharov - Russia). All attention continues to be focused on the last two matches.

In the main match, Ha The Anh (Raptor MMA) faced the representative from China, Zhou Luo (Chau La). The match started with low kicks from the Vietnamese representative, making it difficult for Chau La to approach and use his strength in grappling.

In a high kick, Chau La slipped and fell to the floor, giving Ha The Anh a chance to close in. It seemed like the Raptor MMA representative had the advantage, but Chau La had a kick that made Ha The Anh lose his position, immediately bringing the match into a close position.

The powerful kick gave Chau La the advantage of controlling the floor and clinging to her opponent's back. The extremely fast rear-naked choke was launched, causing Ha The Anh to clap his hands to stop the match. The victory for Chau La in the first round.

If the matches in the MMA Pro format ended quite quickly, the surprise belonged to the MMA Duo "duel". From the first minutes, Claudio Cautinho (Brazil) and Nguyen Nguyen Chuong from C88 Martial Arts & Yoga Fitness Club had the advantage with their locking moves.

However, the strong resistance of the duo Tham Long - Sa Ma Di Cach (China) forced the confrontation to go until the last minutes. Sa Ma Di Cach's standing counterattacks also caused Nguyen Chuong to receive a lot of damage, even though he had somewhat dominated the game.

In the end, the judges declared the match a draw (2 judges scored a draw, 1 judge scored the C88 team the win). For the first time since the MMA Duo format appeared, the fighters had to rely on the judges to get the final result.

LION Championship 28 once again witnessed the attraction of the biggest MMA tournament in Vietnam. Accompanying the matches, the auction of the painting "Girl and the Fan" by lacquer artist Bui Huu Hung ended with a final price of up to 3 billion 218 million VND, with 500 million VND being taken to support people in difficulty after the recent natural disaster and to support the Vietnam Mixed Martial Arts Development Fund.
