Tank Club (red pants) "collect debt" from Raptors MMA

On the evening of August 16 in Cam Ranh (Nha Trang), the MMA Duo rematch ended in blood. The quick scenario like the double match at Lion Championship 21 (evening of April 12) did not happen again.

Nguyen Xuan Phuong - Nguyen Ngoc Thuc of Tank Club have reclaimed the debt of losing to Nguyen Tien Long - Nguyen Trung Hai from Raptor MMA Club 4 months ago in Hanoi .

This time, Thanh Thoan replaced Trung Hai to face Xuan Phuong and settle the old debt. Tien Long proactively pushed Ngoc Thuc to the edge of the ring. The stalemate lasted for about 3 minutes.

Xuan Phuong's unexpected kick knocked Thanh Thoan to the floor. Xuan Phuong immediately ran to his teammate who was holding Tien Long and threw a knee straight at the blue boxer's face.

This unexpected knee caused Tien Long to receive a painful blow. Tien Long did not even realize that his forehead was torn open and blood was dripping onto the face of the person holding him, Ngoc Thuc.

The referee stopped the match when he noticed that Tien Long was bleeding profusely. The doctor immediately entered the cage to take care of Tien Long. The doctor kept shaking his head but could not stop the boxer.

The match continued with 6 minutes left. However, not long after, the referee called for the doctor again when Tien Long's wound bled too much. The match had to be stopped.

The referee consulted and did not let Tien Long continue the match. Thanh Thoan had the right to continue the 1v2 fight but Thoan did not fight. The organizers awarded the victory to Xuan Phuong - Ngoc Thuc.

In the 60kg title match, Van Tuan and Ngoc Luong brought their best from the first round. Le Van Tuan's lightning punching and kicking combinations made it difficult for Tran Ngoc Luong in the early stages of the match.

In round 2, Ngoc Luong showed his class as a national Jujitsu champion when he turned Van Tuan into the next "victim" to be beaten on the floor. The decisive situation happened in round 3 when Le Van Tuan's left leg was continuously hit by Ngoc Luong's low kicks.

The decisive kick from Ngoc Luong made Van Tuan hold his leg in pain, signal to the referee and Ngoc Luong's series of follow-up punches were just "procedural". The 60kg title was awarded to the boxer who had been waiting for it for a year, Tran Ngoc Luong.
