This morning (October 21), BTC Lion Championship announced the fourth belt match at the LC11 event, which was Nghiem Van's belt protection against Felipe Negochadle in 65kg.
This match was predicted before Felipe eliminated all potential opponents to climb a circuit to the top 1 weight class. The boxer from Brazil only needs a total of 3 minutes 34 seconds to defeat 3 opponents at Lion Championship. Thanks to the skill of Grappling, he made the opponents unable to survive a half, including the MMA Asian gold medal Nguyen Tien Long.
Immediately after the match was confirmed, an expert in the MMA world spoke about the opportunity to protect the belt of Nghiem Van Y. The coach of the 56kg champion Nguyen Van Nam – Mr. Nguyen Hoai Nam said: “With the current skill set, the ability to lose belt is too high, if not as sure.”
This is completely grounded when Nghiem Van Italy comes from Wushu, the subject has a set of skill sets mainly to stand. Meanwhile, Felipe is showing that he is the 'hegemony' of weight at the battle. If Van Italy let Felipe have the opportunity to bring him to the floor, his chances of winning are very low.
However, coach Nguyen Hoai Nam still encouraged his compatriots and hoped that he could protect the belt successfully against foreign boxers.
MMA fans are probably looking forward to returning to Lion Championship of Nghiem Van Y when the boxer from Wushu King has not played any match this year. The only MMA arena he played over the past was the MMA Asian Championship, where this boxer won bronze.
LC11 will take place on December 9 at Quan Ngua sports palace. This is the last event of the Lion Championship 2023 season.
