This international MMA tournament took place on the evening of March 22 at The Grand Ho Tram Strip (Ba Ria - Vung Tau). This is an event organized by Cocky Buffalo - a martial arts training company, organizing professional martial arts events in Vietnam, in coordination with AFC, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province and The Grand Ho Tram Strip.
Right in the opening match, Le Van Tuan excited all the spectators when he took the weight of Chinese opponent Mao Xiao Fu in the 56.7kg weight class. Before the match, Mao Xiao Fu was rated higher as the 28-year-old fighter was 3 years younger than Van Tuan and was in good form with 4 wins in 5 matches on the stage.
Entering the match, Van Tuan took the initiative with high kicks before quickly approaching, bringing the match down to the floor. Although the Vietnamese fighter had taken over his back, Mao Xiao Fu escaped before fighting Van Tuan back to the floor.
In an unfavorable position, Le Van Tuan suddenly connected his arms and legs to launch a dangerous neck tightening punch that caused Mao Xiao Fu to signal to lose when the first half had only been more than 2 minutes. An extremely impressive victory for Van Tuan.
The remaining representative of Vietnam, Quang Van Minh, did not get a good result against Park Yeong Jun (Korea) in the 65.8kg weight class. Against an opponent with a better height, Van Minh played well when he pushed the opponent up twice to avoid being knocked down the floor in the first half.
However, in the second half, Park Yeong Jun counterattacked strongly with many precise punches, making Van Minh dizzy. After the 2 main rounds, the referee announced the draw, so the match had to have an extra half to determine the winner. In extra time, Park Yeong Jun performed better, thereby winning by points against Quang Van Minh.
In addition, the AFC 37 Ho Tram Showdown event made a strong impression with high-class knockouts. Zhu Zahui (China) with extremely heavy punches caused Taiwanese Yang Jihua (China) to fall to the floor when the match had only lasted for more than 10 seconds.
In the remaining results, Cho Kyung Yui (Korea) won Wang Haoxiang with a score after 2 very dramatic rounds. Italo Freitas (Brazil) scored Wang Bingyin (China). The master of modern martial arts who was a champion in Asia's No. 1 MMA arena One Championship Ivan Parshikov (Russia) had an overwhelming victory over Jung Da Un (Korea).
This martial arts event was also praised for the extremely vibrant and enthusiastic performances from beautiful singer Lee Ye Eun and the famous Korean music group DJ DOC.
