'Memplay MAX FC 28 IN Changwon' was successfully held at the Grand Mercure Ambassador Changwon Grand Ballroom Special Serving on the 12th. This was the first title sponsor competition held by MAX FC, the largest standing martial arts organization in Korea, under the sponsorship of Mimplay.

The 'Memplay MAX FC 28 IN Changwon' competition was the first main event held in Gyeongsangnam-do, and a large number of colorful star-class players participated to attract enthusiastic cheers from the crowd.

In the first match, Jang Dong-min (24, Busan Team Mad) and Park Ji-hoon (18, Gwangju Team Best) competed in the first match of heavyweight. From the first round, both players continued their powerful battles unique to heavyweight by utilizing all of their punches, kicks, and nikkicks. The match between the two players, who were playing a close game in the first round, was quickly decided in the second round. At the beginning of the second round, Jang Dong-min's left-footed high kick hit Park Ji-hoon's chin accurately, and the game ended with a KO.

In the two games, former first lightweight champion Jo Sun-hae (29, Jinhae Jeong-gwan) and fourth-ranked Won Jae-hyun (22, Pyeong, Taekvictoryim) clashed in the welterweight Super Fight. As much as the difference between the two players' previous records and experience, the game was one-sided. Cho Sun-hae fired a fiery low kick from the start of the first round and took one down against Won Jae-hyun at the beginning of the first round. Against Won Jae-hyun, who got up immediately, Jo Mi-hae's left knee hit the mark and took out the down once more. The game ended with a KO as Won Jae-hyun failed to get up.

The three games were the first defense match for the women's lightweight champion, with current champion Lee Seung-ah (44, Daejeon King's Hall Dunsan Branch) and fifth-ranked Yoo Ji-ho (28, Gwangju Timmaek). From the beginning of the first round, the punch and kick battles between the two players continued constantly. From the second half of the first round, Yoo Ji-ho led in an aggressive manner with a punch attack. Both players seemed to take a break once in the third round, but in the fourth and fifth rounds, Yoo Ji-ho succeeded in pressing with punches and kicks, and the game was won by all judges in the fifth round.

The four games were a bantamweight title match, with current flyweight champion Shuto (30, Nagoya GSB, Japan) and No. 1 bantamweight ranking Park Hyung-woo (20, Kim Je International X-Zim). The winner was decided at the beginning of the first round. Sato Shuto's high kick hit the mark and took out the down once. Park Hyung-woo got up without recovering the damage, but he went down once again due to a series of punches by Sato Shuto. Park Hyung-woo got up after overcoming the second down, but allowed the third down due to accumulated damage, and the game ended with Sato Shuto's victory.

The five games were a comedy event, where actor Geum Gwang-san (47, Big Punch Boxing Club) and Vietnam's Nguyen (22, Vietnam's Kirky Buffalo) faced off in a special boxing match. In the first round, Geum Min-san applied strong pressure with his unique punch power, and Nguyen held out with Weaving and Dooking, responding occasionally. From the middle of the third round, Geum Mine showed physical limitations and gathered once, but in the fourth round, Geum Mine won 2-1 as the pressure of Geum Mine, who did his best, was applied.

The six games were the main games of the day, with MAX FC star Cho Kyung-jae (26, Incheon Jung Woo-kwan) and China's Huergang (23) competing for the lightweight champion belt. In the first round, Cho Kyung-jae's kick and Huergang's punch collided. The match between the two players, which was likely to continue a close game, began to lean sharply in the second round. In the second round, Huergang hit the right-handed straight twice in Cho Kyung-jae's face and stole the down twice. Cho Kyung-jae, who followed, managed to survive the second round, but as soon as the third round began, Huergang once again hit a right-handed straight to Cho Kyung-jae's chin and the game ended immediately. Huergang finished the day's main game with a KO win in the third round.

MAX FC CEO Lee Yong-bok said, `Recently, MAX FC has focused on world stage numbering. As a result, top domestic players achieved good performances on overseas stages and led to the globalization of Korean standing martial arts. This competition is a competition that faithfully achieved the solidarity that could have been made under the guise of the globalization of standing martial arts in Korea. "It served as an opportunity to once again check the skills of top-class players in Korea by inviting leading players such as China, Vietnam, and Japan, and at the same time, it also served as an opportunity to discover new top-class players in each weight class." In order for Korea's standing martial arts to spread to the world, a solid inner room must always be supported. In the future, while focusing on world stage numbering, we will not miss it and build up our inner room at the domestic numbering competition to create a solid company with Anpak. Please give us a lot of support"How do you feel about holding the tournament?"
