ONE: Heavy Hitters Results and Highlights

ONE: Heavy Hitters Results

In the main event, ONE Women’s Strawweight Champion Xiong Jing Nan continues her reign as the 125-pound queen after masterfully and comfortably defeating the number four-ranked contender Ayaka Miura via unanimous decision for her sixth title defense.

The dominant Chinese titleholder managed to stop all the takedown attempts from the challenger and in the process landed significant strikes to her Japanese opponent.

Meanwhile, Tawanchai scored a first-round knockout over Saemapetch in a 66.4 KG catchweight bout in the ONE Super Series Muay Thai. The finish came in the dying seconds of the opening round when Tawanchai landed a picture-perfect left straight to Saemapetch’s chin to drop him which in turn ended the match.

Despite this impressive victory against the number one-ranked contender in the bantamweight division, Tawanchai intends to compete in the featherweight division instead and avoid any problems in weight cutting.

Also witnessed in the card is the highly-anticipated debut of lightweight fighter Saygid Izagakhmaev as he submitted James Nakashima in round two to secure a dream start under the Singapore-based promotion.

After his victory, the 27-year old Russian who happens to be Khabib Nurmagomedov’s protege, called out fellow submission specialist and former lightweight champion, Shinya Aoki and mixed martial arts icon Eddie Alvarez in his post-fight interview and stated they he would “kill” them.
