A few days after the match between the two boxers Tran Ngoc Luong and Robson Oliveira at the Lion Championship 5 event, VMMAF had officially announced the match results. According to the tournament and regulations of VMMAF, the Organizing Committee cannot change the results. In return, VMMAF admitted that there was a mistake in grading.
On that basis, VMMAF has launched a disciplinary form with 3 arbitrators in the match between Tran Ngoc Luong and Robson Oliveira, specifically as follows:
– Referee Ngo Quoc Thang: Stop the arbitration work at the end of the Lion Championship 2023 season
– Referee Tran Trung Nghia: Stop the arbitration work at the end of the Lion Championship 2023 season
– Arbitration Nguyen Dang Khoa: Stop the arbitration work in the next 3 events of Lion Championship 2023
In addition, VMMAF also admitted to clubs and fans for having an unnecessary incident in the match between Tran Ngoc Luong and Robson Oliveira. In order for similar errors to not recur, VMMAF and the specialized committee have planned training, development, and improving the qualifications of the MMA Vietnam referee team.
The match between Tran Ngoc Luong and Robson Oliveira is one of Lion Championship's two focal points of the event. In fact, the match also showed two martial artists with similar qualifications and competition.
Also in the press release to the media units, VMMAF acknowledged the error in the arbitration's grading in the second half. This also coincides with ITHETHAO.vn's conjecture about the grading in the second half with a difference between the scoring assessments in the match.
