Before the match against Garry Tonon at One 165, Martin Nguyen hopes that the defeat of this locker will help him return to the One Championship championship race. In fact, the Organizing Committee also intends to create conditions for the winner in this pair to be promoted to the upcoming belt.
Compared to Martin Nguyen, who has a forte with striking attacks, especially right punches, Garry Tonon plays more comprehensively. He is known as a battle expert, especially in locking and strangling. That was soon shown by Tonon in this match, when he countered Martin.
In order for Martin Nguyen to not use the forte striking, Tonon quickly approached the opponent. He also tried to rival to the floor almost at all times. That caused Martin Nguyen Dan to lose his breath when the match drifted to the end of the first half, creating conditions for Tonon to finish early.
When the first half was less than 1 minute left, Tonon excavated Martin Nguyen to the floor and made a Rear-Naked Choke blow. The perfect lock made by Tonon made the former One Championship championship unable to escape. Martin Nguyen Tap Out would like to lose at 4 minutes 41 seconds of the first half of the match.
The competition between Martin Nguyen and Garry Tonon is also the first match to end earlier than expected by One 165. Meanwhile, the chance to return to the top floor of Martin Nguyen has passed away very far.
