In the latest sharing, Martin Nguyen said he would not attend the One Fight Night 7 event as expected. The reason for his opponent, Shamil Gasanov was forced to retreat due to illness. One Championship cannot find a boxer to replace Gasanov Martin Nguyen in the next few days.
“I understand that he must be healthy enough to play, but not denying that makes me feel disappointed,” Martin Nguyen shared. “I have trained for 12 weeks, sacrificed both Christmas and New Year's vacation with my family to look forward to the match against a strong opponent like Gasanov.
Martin Nguyen added: “Because I knew that Gasanov was a very strong boxer, I spent a lot of time aiming at the goal of defeating him. I spent a lot of time learning and locking, and the game was destroyed. Really sorry fans have watched and cheered for me in the past, especially those who spend money to buy tickets to see me play.”
Before the match against Gasanov, Martin Nguyen sees this as his last chance to aim for a belt match in the future. But with the canceled match, “The Situ-Asian” will have to wait a while longer to know when he can return to the competition, instead of competing with rivals on the same level.
At the age of 33, Martin Nguyen's professional MMA competition is 20 matches, including 14 victories and 6 defeats. He has kept two Featherweight and Lightweight MMA champions of One Championship. But in the last 4 matches, Martin Nguyen received 3 defeats.
