A well-earned victory for Truong Cao Minh Phat.

In the main 61kg MMA Striking bout, Truong Cao Minh Phat – the reigning WBC Muay Thai world champion – faced off against Aaron Clarke, a former ISKA Kickboxing titleholder. Right from the opening round, Minh Phat unleashed powerful left kicks that shut down Clarke’s signature style. He followed with his trademark punches, seizing control of the match.

Clarke, however, proved his grit by pushing the fight into the third round, relentlessly pressing Minh Phat and forcing him into a stamina battle. But the Vietnamese fighter’s precision strikes ultimately secured him a well-deserved victory.

In another highlight match, Danh Quoc faced off once again with Nguyen Hop Hai. After taking several punishing knee strikes, Hop Hai began to tire in the third round. Danh Quoc seized the moment, taking his opponent to the ground and delivering a flurry of elbow strikes, forcing the referee to stop the match. The win allowed Danh Quoc to avenge his defeat from two years ago.

Also in the MMA Striking format, the first knockout of the night came from Vo Minh Nghia, who landed a decisive blow that dropped Tha Vanthorn. Nguyen Tien Phat secured a win over Do Nguyen Minh Quyen, while Von Kimcheng used a mix of knee and leg strikes to defeat Phan Vu Bao.
