This is Asia's leading professional MMA tournament organized by Cocky Buffalo - a martial arts training company and professional martial arts event organizer in Vietnam - in collaboration with AFC and exclusively broadcast on VTVcab. AFC 28 has 7 extremely attractive matches, gathering many famous and experienced martial artists, promising to bring competitions of very high professional quality. In particular, the highlight match is the defense of the interim Fly Weight (56kg) championship belt of the famous Brazilian BJJ champion in Vietnam, "MMA warrior" Robson Oliveira, against Korean boxer Kim Jin Min.
AFC 28 promises to be exciting with quality fighters and balanced matches.
In parallel, AFC 28 is attracting attention with the participation of 3 Vietnamese boxers: Mui Trong Vinh, Luu Duc Manh and Dang Hoang Minh. Notably, two boxers Mui Trong Vinh and Luu Duc Manh are training at the No1 Muay Club under the direct guidance of the "undefeated" Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat. Mui Trong Vinh will compete in the Bantam Weight class (61.2kg) and will compete with talented Chinese boxer Jia Yangin. Meanwhile, Luu Duc Manh will face off against Korean opponent Park Seong Hyun in the 57kg weight class.
Present at the weigh-in to support his students, Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat revealed that he put aside all work to wholeheartedly prepare carefully for Vinh and Manh in this round. “I have canceled all my competition plans since the beginning of the year, including 3 invitations from ONE Championship (Asia's No. 1 MMA arena) to focus on training my fighters. I have separate training plans with a strict regime of about 5 hours a day for Trong Vinh and Duc Manh so that the 2 fighters can prepare most carefully for this round of AFC 28. Therefore, I am very confident in my fighters,” Duy Nhat said.
However, Duy Nhat said he also had his own worries as this was the first time both fighters had stepped onto the stage of an international MMA event like AFC 28. He hoped his students would not be nervous, show their best and develop their strengths.
“Obviously, in terms of experience and strength, both Vinh and Manh's opponents are considered to be the favorites. We are also at a disadvantage because we cannot find the Chinese boxer's competition videos, possibly because they use other social networks. Meanwhile, Trong Vinh's competition videos can be easily found on YouTube as he has fought at LION Championship or Lien Phong. However, I have a strategy for you to approach the match in the best way and will observe to make changes and respond to the situation,” Duy Nhat added.
Meanwhile, both Mui Trong Vinh and Luu Duc Manh appeared very confident, not worried even when their opponents wanted to bring the match to the floor. “Coach Duy Nhat has prepared us very carefully over the past 2 months, especially the techniques for anti-grappling and locking if the match is brought to the floor. Therefore, I do not feel too worried or pressured. My goal when stepping onto the floor is to give the fans the best match, do my best and win,” Mui Trong Vinh said.
