Contrary to the performance, not as expected over the past 1 year, Martin Nguyen has returned impressively at the One Fight Night 7 event. The former 2 -weight champion of One defeated Leonardo Casotti after 3 rounds.
Besides showing the usual standing skills, Martin Nguyen also shows a very different image on the MMA floor. He not only rely on the right hand punches as before, but also to use the skill set and lock of Jujitsu's tightening lock that Martin Nguyen previously rarely used.
The Leonardo Casotti crumpled at the end of the 3rd half not only helped Martin Nguyen come very close to a victory/Submission, but also showed that he had prepared carefully on the journey to reclaim the championship. Although no longer at the peak, he is still noticeable for other boxers.
“Everyone may say I'm older and out of age, but if my opponent thinks so, I will overcome them,” Martin Nguyen said. The immediate goal of Martin Nguyen is to continue to sign a contract with One Championship, then complete the unfinished match with Shamil Gasanov. But he has another option.
Not long before the match of Martin Nguyen took place, Garry Tonon let go of the challenge of Vietnamese boxer. Tonon was the one who lost to Thanh Le at the One Championship Championship match. If Tonon won Martin Nguyen, he could continue another stretching.
Answering Tonon's challenge news, Martin Nguyen said he promoted that, and Tonon would think so. “Let's fight,” Martin Nguyen said as an affirmation of the match between the two boxers will take place.
