The second fight of the evening was the first fight in the Super 4 57 kg category with Numpet Por Pramuk from Thailand facing Nguyen Tang Quyen from Vietnam. At one point it looked like the Vietnamese athlete was going to take the win after landing some heavy shots but the Thai athlete was not going to lose on his home turf and made an amazing comeback securing the victory and going through to the next round.

The third fight and second fight of the 57kg saw Khalilov Tagir from Russia go to head with Mohd Ali Bin Yaakub from Malaysia. This was a much anticipated fight as the pair fought each other last year in a very close match. This year was also a very close match also with Ali Bin just edging the win and going in to the final.

The fourth fight and the first fight in the Super 4 67kg saw Brazilain Jorge Inacio vs Willy Whipple from the USA. Both athletes here displayed all of the weapons of the eight limbs with the Brazilian going through to the next round.

The ninth fight of the evening was for the 66.67kg WMC World title between Thanuchai Puicharleephate (Thailand) and Bryan Matias (France). This was deemed by many as fight of the evening and had the fans on the edge of the seat. At one point the French man was in the lead but the Thai quickly changed up his style following the second round and using clever footwork was able to pop off shots from a safe distance and became the new world champion.

Fight 10, the final of the 57kg Super 4 tournament between Mohd Ali Bin Yaakub from Malaysia and Numpet Por Pramuk from Thailand saw Numphet come out strong from the first bell but quickly realised Ali Bin is no spring chicken in the game so had to be cautious after getting tagged a couple of times by the man from Thailand. After 3 rounds it was Numpet who got the win.

Fight 11, The final of the 67kg Super 4 saw Petch Muangpen Sirilak Muaythai from Thailand and Jorge Inacio from Brazil battle it out to see who could win the Super 4 cup. This was an intensely technical match and could have gone either way at points but in the end it was Petch who took the judges decision.

The final match of the evening and final of the 72kg tournament saw Ziyodilla Kurbanov face Drogba Sirilak Muaythai for the champion spot. During the first round Ziyodilla managed to jump ahead but Drogba refusing to step down made an amazing comeback, winning the tournament.
