Chinese fighter challenges Vietnam at MMA LION Championship 24

The mixed martial arts (MMA) event LION Championship 24 (LC24) continues to be held at Tay Ho Gymnasium (Hanoi).

In the mixed martial arts (MMA Duo) format, the highlight is the competition between two Vietnamese fighters, Ha The Anh - Nguyen Thanh Thoan, and the Chinese duo, Truong Yen Long - Gia Dien Tan.

Ahead of the event, the two Chinese fighters attracted attention when filming a clip challenging their opponents. In the video, Yen Long and Dien Tan announced that they would make The Anh and Thanh Thoan lie on the floor in pain. The Chinese martial artist duo are even confident in their ability to win and announced that the upcoming match will be the last match of the two Vietnamese martial artists.

In response to the opponent's declaration of war, Vietnamese boxer Ha The Anh responded: "We will teach them a life-long lesson". The battle between the two teams has made the event hotter than ever.

The Anh and Thanh Thoan have affirmed their position in domestic kick-boxing arenas and accumulated experience on the MMA stage.

Meanwhile, Truong Yen Long and Gia Dien Tan are two young fighters who have accumulated many years of experience on the stages of muay Thai, kick-boxing and MMA with more than 30 stage trips. Both promised to bring an explosive, "hot" confrontation even before stepping onto the ring.

In the remaining two MMA Duo matches, representatives Le Van Vu - Vo Minh Nghia and Phan Huy Hoang - Do Nguyen Minh Quyen will face fighters from Cambodia. Representatives of Roem Kakada - Sot Seyha and Sry Sran - Khan Tit are unknowns from the Kun Khmer arenas - the fierce traditional martial arts of the land of Angkor Wat.

Along with the parallel matches, LION Championship also brings professional MMA matches. Jewelry master Pham Anh Duc will return to the LC24 stage with a match against the Scotch boxer Harry John Smith.

With the strengths of thumbs and tightening techniques, both promises to bring breathtaking fights to compete for positions in the 65kg weight class.

A name that has become famous since the 2023 season of LION Championship will now officially return. Young fighter Danh Quoc, with a confident demeanor, will face Dinh Trung Hieu - a boxer who has just had a very good performance in the standing fight event.

With the strength of kick-boxing punches, Danh Quoc and Trung Hieu both have the potential to end the opponent with just one punch.

In the 56kg category, Liam Arnold (England) will regain his winning feeling after losing to Bui Dinh Khai at LC21. Liam Arnold will face young talent Bui Phong Son.

Opening ceremony of LION Championship 24 will be a series of 3 matches in the MMA Striking format. The best representatives of the chess variations such as Tran Huy Hai, Dinh Van Can, Luu Huy Duc or muay Thai such as Vo Tien Dat, Ly Duol or Le Quang Tri can all create breakthroughs in fierce exchange and punches.
