163 commented on the match: “If I had to describe this match in one word, it would be “unique”. Han Feilong’s punches were completely different from normal punches. Some of his punches were like the rotation of a windmill, very difficult to predict. On the ring, Han Feilong also launched many traditional martial arts techniques, such as leg swings, sweeping kicks, and even the Tai Chi spinning kick.

So, Petchmorakot, the Muay Thai fighter, could not adapt. He was thrown down by Han Fei Long when he tried to throw a kick.

Han Feilong even took the initiative to attack, making Petchmorakot more and more confused. Petchmorakot's Muay Thai technique was almost ineffective, which was hard to imagine. Thanks to Han Feilong, he demonstrated how to use softness to overcome hardness in Tai Chi. In the end, Han Feilong defeated Petchmorakot with a score of 29:28, making Tai Chi and traditional martial arts once again stand out on the stage, " wrote the 163 page.
