JAKARTA - Summer Fighters promoter Marcos Manurung plans to send his three best fighters (top fighters) to compete in a professional Muay Thai match in Thailand.

The three best fighters are the champion belt holders from three categories that competed in the professional free combat match Summer Fighters in Bali, last Sunday.

For the winner (fightr, ed.) who wins, the scheme is we will bring it to international, the fight in Thailand. If in Thailand wins, I will send all the profiles to One Champion for Indonesia's top fighter," Marcos said as quoted by Antara, Monday.

Muay Thai is Thailand's national sport which is a haven for professional fighters to challenge opponents and hone their skills. In Thailand, there are more than 60,000 professional Muay Thai fighters registered by associations in the country nicknamed the White Elephant.

Meanwhile, One Championship is a world-class free fighting contest in Singapore featuring a variety of matches ranging from mixed martial arts (MMA), Muay Thai, kickboxing, and submission grappling.

From the results of the Summer Fights match on Sunday, three professional fighters who won the championship belt, namely Serieal Effendy in the middleweight category, Rahman Husin in the welterweight category, and Fahri Alamsyah for the lightweight category.

Serieal became the first professional fighter to win easily from Raymond Ghazali after his opponent was absent from the match because he was overweight up to 10 kilograms so he did not qualify for weight in.

In the Summer Fighters free combat match, the fighters must meet the weight weighted requirements the day before the match. For the middleweight category, the weight of professional fighters who compete must be in the range of 68.9 kg to 71.5 kg.

Despite winning WO, Serieal admitted that he did not feel enthusiastic, because for a fighter from Agam, West Sumatra, victory should be obtained from the match.

"A fighter must fight to win," Serieal said after receiving the middleweight category championship belt.

Then, Rahman Husin from Beat Up Camp Jakarta, who also fought at One Pride MMA, managed to beat the professional fighter from Dee Muay Thai Bali, Maruli Nainggolan in the welterweight category.

Rahman, nicknamed Supergiant, managed to get the score superior to Maruli The Nainggolan' in the five-round Summer Fighters match.

Rahman, who has been practicing Muay Thai for 7 years, showed his persistence fighting until the end even though his left index was cracked a week before the game.

Therefore, Rahman fired more right and left also several elbows at Maruli, a 20-year-old Muay Thai professional fighter, who is considered the'supervisor'.

Lastly, in the struggle for a belt in a professional match, Nicolaus The Nightmare'Brandon from Beat Up Camp Jakarta bowed from Fahri Alamsyah from Bali MMA in the five round of the lightweight category.

Fahri consistently dominated the match in five rounds releasing kicks and punches at Brandon. Meanwhile, The Nightmare only tried to release a lot of attacks in the last two rounds, especially after he was stabbed in the left temple.
