Three mixed martial artists from the A Fighter Gym were on the card at the first-ever Full Metal Dojo event in Phuket, but it was another disappointing night for the Cambodian contingent, all of which failed to register wins.
First up was Chan Heng Peng, who has been making waves on the local scene with wins at both the CTN and Bayon TV promotions. However, he was quickly taken down and submitted by American grappling specialist Alex Schild in the second fight of the night at Seduction Discotheque in Patong.
Kun Khmer veteran Seiha Pich took his fight with BJJ purple belt Emilio Urrutia despite having received very little MMA training, meaning that the match-up was effectively a battle between an all-out striker and a seasoned grappler.
As is so often the case in MMA, it was the grappler who prevailed, with Urrutia getting an early takedown and then forcing Seiha to tap out with a triangle choke. To the Cambodian’s credit, however, he did demonstrate that he is not a complete novice on the ground.
