WLF vs. The Fight League Results: Hlali Upsets Jianliang, Baitar Stops Changwei

On Thursday, Aug. 4, Chinese kickboxing promotion Wu Lin Feng Championship returned to Morocco in a co-promotion with Moroccan promotion The Fight League for the Grand Prix His Majesty King Mohammed VI Tournament Part 2.

The main event of the evening featured top-10 ranked featherweight Qiu Jianliang, who returned to the ring in enemy territory when he faced Aziz Hlali. Jianliang entered the discussion of top featherweights in the world with victories over top-10 featherweights Mosab Amrani and Jomthong Chuwattana. He also holds victories over former Rajadamnern stadium champions Sagetdao Petpayathai and Bovy Sor Udomson. Hlali looked to get back on track after losses to Fabio Pinca and Manaowan Sitsongpeenong. The 26-year-old Frenchman has victories over Rajadamnern stadium champion Singmanee Kaewsamrit and Lumpinee stadium champion Singdam Kiatmuu9.

In the co-main event, Yassan Baitar returned to the Fight League to face WLF representative Ji Changwei. Baitar inched closer to the top-10 with a win over Dzhabar Askerov in the semifinals of the Kunlun Fight World MAX 70-kilogram qualification tournament at Kunlun Fight 44, but dropped down slightly after losing in the finals against Romanian fighter Claudiu Badoi.
